 I’m Flying In a Heavenly Way - FURst Class Too!


Well  well well - they say sometimes ya just don’t know what the cards deal ya and in this case Me and Myself  got dealt dat Kidney Disease in July 2020. So I has the mostest meowvalous Staff on da Planet who helped me on Sunday, yup uh huh on Palm Sunday (psssst I’m an Episcocat so I loves Palm Sunday cuz I can always for the past 14 years play with those palms the Staff used to bring home from dat church)

She helped me cross over the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday March 28th at 12:25pm PST and I knows her heart is broken but I’m so so so grateful to be out of pain and flying FURst class all around Heaven now

Let’s remember the meowvalous times for sure - 
Like hanging out together

I had a job for 13+ years - yup uh huh coMEWting on the famous 
San Franfuncisco Cable Car to my job with my silly Staff!
I loved my job with the very special needs seniors at The ARC of San Francisco
They made me purr - best paycheck ever

Me and Myself just loved loved travel and 
Hello Ha Ha Ha Hawaii always made me
wanna share a Meow Tai with you!


My Staff and me were “Team Guido” and we just grooved going everywhere together
all over the Globe.

My life has been Catzowey purrrrrfecto meeting and greeting 
 famous folks like Santy Paws!

And crazy double  Catzowey! In 2008 I flew on a Jet Plane 
to Hollywood to be on a TeeVee show with dat 
famoso Signore Chuck Woolery.

Signore Jackson Galaxy and me met in Hollywood and in San Franfuncisco
and he said I was not gonna ever be on his TeeVee Show “The Cat From Hell”
Hee Hee Hee

My 13-1/2 years in Animal Assisted Therapy had me on the job
meeting and greeting everybody.


Yup uh huh my life has been meowvalous
But now I’m in a new life just up above looking
down upon all of you and Me & Myself are always hoping 
you’re having a nonCATastrophic Day.

Do me a big favor puhleeeze? 
Give back to your CoMEWnity cuz they needs ya.

AMORE AMICI
Fino al nostro prossimo incontro

LOVE YA FOREVER AND EVER,

Guido's Gotcha Day 11th Anniversary and He's Working It

Catzowey and more Catzowey!
I'm celebrating 11 years in my fabtastic forever and ever home 
and I wanna share some good stuff with you. Ready??  
This pic is me August 5, 2006 hours after I had selected my forever home 
at the huge age of 62 days old. Ahhhhh that's what everybody says ... Ahhhhhh yup uh huh,  I did grow into my ears!



 To celebrate my forever home anniversary, I
went to work cuz you know I'm a cat with a job.
Here's me in my Alo-ha-ha-ha shirt spreading love.

 Everybody at the seniors center for challenged folks
seem happy to see me & myself! And I'm purring
about being on the job cuz it's what makes life
meowvalous. (pssst ... can ya keep a secret? I'm 
a lil challenged with life stuff at times too - aren't you?)

Head massage on the job rocks! 

Just chillaxing and relaxing on the job - why not?
Hey some folks get written up for relaxing on the
job but I get massages cuz relaxing makes me feel feline fine on the job.

On my Forever Home 11th Anniversary week I gotta be out and about
and today on Sunday 6th of August I took me and myself to
visit a cool 96 years young man who recently got moved out from his home 
to another spot. As a cat I know change is not fun so I donned my SF Warriors
Jersey for his San Fran self and curled up next to this great gentleman.
Man cats unite!  And we both had a meowvalous visit. Cat chatted about whisker
trims and shaving - hee hee !

 Who knew August 5, 2006 that me being a lil smitten kitten 
could grow into a Cat With A Job? Don't  ever give up on
your dreams cuz ya never ever knows what might
meowvalously happen!

Wishing wonderful YOU the mostest meowvalous
and  non-catastrophic week.

Ciao & Meow!

It's Time to Table My Tabby Table Time

Catzowey !
I'm working hard to table my table time
cuz my ManCat self deserves some special
table time - everybody does, dontcha think?

It's so so so meowvalous when I get
my table time, so I cross my EyeTailYun paws
that more tabby table time comes my way.
Hoorayzatini!

But more than tabby table time, I purrfur
where I gets a catzillion meowsages.

When I'm on the job these bedside meowsages sure
rev up my purr machine! Pssst - Me & Myself visit this nice
 93 years yungun lady every other Saturday for my meowsages.

And dontcha think a ManCat should always wear
a good tie when on the job?

Once my job is done for the day 
I'm back to tabling tabby table time
and feeling oh so so so Catzowey fine!

Wishing wonderful special YOU the mostest
nonCatastrophic week!

Ciao & Meow,

Terrific Time For A Purrfect TEN !


Hoorayzatini - I'll pass ya the custom made meowtini if you can 
guess who is turning the purrfect terrific 10? HINT HINT..

It's Bambino ME turning 10 this week!  
Remember, Me & Myself started out
 homeless on the Streets of San Francisco,
and dat furtunate day August 3, 2006 I found
my furever and ever home and passed out from 
all dat excitement of "being Home sweet Home".
Psssst -  I even got a mini man cat litter box
dat day! My first indoor plumbing!

In my growing up inky dinky early meowments, I became an
Envirocat keeping my cat eyes on water usage! 
(you should too!)

 And would ya believe dat Me & Myself went to
the giganticat Grace Cathedral one day to get blessed
on St. Francis Day by a nice lady, Dr. Jane Goodall.
Yup its for sure she held me in high esteem and said 
I wazza handsome dude with a future! 
Hee hee hee she made me purr.
 
Then things started getting fishy so I decided I 
needed a job! Yep uh huh a real job!

 So in 2007 I passed the test & got dat 
certification for being a real on the job
my pal Charlie on the job at the
seniors day care center - he's blind but he sees me
his way and I see him my way - we guys bond.

 And now with terrificat ten event on my
radar, Me and Myself have bonded with
da Sofa cuz I likes chillaxing 
and relaxing when I'm not on the job.

 Nothing more meowvalous then
being in da party mood! 
Get on board with me and let's PAWTY
cuz turning terrificat ten only happens
one time in da life even with 9 lives ! 

 Ciao & Meow!

A Senior Moment Can Be So So So Special

It's no secret that I'ma a cat with a job. Yep uh huh - I been on the job almost 8 years and that
means Me & MYself been working with special friends at the seniors center since
 I was a yungun at 1. I LOVE senior moments !

 My special senior pals share their special secrets which makes 
my whiskers wiggle. But I keeps the secret cuz that's what friends do. 
Pssst ... 
 it's not good to let the cat out of the bag!

It's for sure Me & MYself loves looking into the eyes of my special senior friends. 
Makes me purr for sure.

Part of being a real certified Animal Assisted Therapy pet is to do house-calls
cuz if YOU call I'll be there!
 I luvs luvs luvs this house cuz the senior who's so special lets me play dat piano. 
So I paw out "I Did It My Way" honoring my fellow EyeTailYun Frankie Sinatra.

Always great to dress up when you're on the job. Me & MYself are mindful to wear
 a deeziner tie cuz it's just the right tie to catch someone's eye. Perhaps I get a purrrrrmotion too!


Some people don't have 9 lives.
So every now and then I make a Hospice visit.
Connecting our paws is amazing for me and the guest too.

 YEP uh huh - Having a Senior moment can be SO Special.

I wish YOU a nonCATastrophic week and a special one too

Ciao & Meow!

Bring on da Purrrisian mouses du Jour mon monsieur.

And when youza feeling like yur Bird's Eye View is fogged up, iced over or grounded cuz of da weather, and youza in need  of a purrkup,  call me. I'ma fully employed as a Certified feline in Animal Assisted Therapy (I gotza not-so-little AAT vest and my purrfeshunal credentials in my deeziner EyeTailYun backpack). Today I'ma sharing thizza very speshule foto - taken justa few catnaps ago. Itza me visiting my furiend whooza in Hospice. Weeza holds paws, weeza both purrs and communicates purrfectly. I visits him weekly now for however long thatza gonna be. Momma Mia! Thatza Bird's Eye View of a meowvalous moment.
