Goodbye Zorro

Posted on March 9, 2020March 8, 2020 by Whitney

Friday night, we said Goodbye to Zorro. For those who didn’t know – Zorro was our nearly 20 year old cat. That’s right. He was just a few months shy of 20.

Zorro: a trip to the vet and corn in cat food.

Posted on September 16, 2014March 10, 2020 by Whitney

In our very full house, we have a cat named Zorro. He’s our cat, not the in-laws. In fact, he’s 14, and adopted TheBoy and I one day. Aside from the brief reign of terror when we moved into this house, he’s mellow but vocal. (That’s when he made the decision to become Alpha Cat….

First day of school!

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Whitney

That is what I was woken up with yesterday morning. Actually, that’s what I was woken up with a second time yesterday morning, because our cat (yes, we have a cat again- I’ll explain that in a moment) decided to wake me up at 3 am because his food bowl was empty. Then, at 5:45…

Whitney Drake

I am a writer, artist, mother, and geek. I write about what catches my attention- whether it's fandom, politics, hockey, life as a Latina, or life with Crohns disease. Sometimes I write about marriage and kids, but that's not very often these days.
