So I was found very quickly. A few cats who have found me recently suspected my whereabouts and said they’d be back if no one else came to my rescue. Eric and Flynn, however, all the way from ENGLAND knew where I was! They said, “You are giving a speech as Edweard Muybridge which is at the Presidio of San Francisco, originally known as El Presidio Real de San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco peninsula. Edward Muybridge was an English photographer who spent most of his life in the US and is known for his work for pioneering animal locomotion for the film industry.”
And I believe they are right. Cory invited me there to see some things her human saw. How cool.
Many of our cat friends just did the Susan G. Komen three day walk for the Cure in San Francisco so I was pleased to be hanging there and thinking about them. While we have heard that no everyone agrees with the Komen Foundation, last year when we looked into it, we were so thrilled with the gratitude we found on the part of women with breast cancer. A friend of ours had breast cancer and no insurance. She’s self employed. Anyway, when she was trying to figure out her options, Susan G. Komen talked to her about the fact that her winter (it was) monthly income was low enough to qualify for Medicaid which allowed her to have the treatment and surgeries she needed. Further, although the whole small town community got together with donations and a raffle and a silent auction and everyone donated and did what they could, our friend found herself short one month on her rent. Not working will do that to a self employed person. The Komen Foundation came through again and gave her a $500 check. There are still walks in Atlanta coming up and the cat bloggers are going to be out in force–so if you can — help out! Max and Jeter have folks walking and I think DKM is crewing again (or maybe walking–we’re not at all sure!)
Oh and some housekeeping–we’ve been in the process of considering the M word and it looks like it might be happening. While we’ll do our best to keep Find Chey and Sunday Guest Star, you might wonder why we’re not visiting at our usual rate and that’s why! We’ll be back (hopefully before the holidays!)
I had a feeling in my paws that you would be found quickly Chey…but just in case I’m sure you found the bag of fishy flakes that mom stashed for you.
WHAT?!!! ARE YOU KIDDING!!! THERE WERE FISHY FLAKES!!!!
Once again, well done, Eric and Flynn.
That is so wonderful about how the Susan Komen Foundation helped your friend. Sorry you missed the fishy flakes!
We’re glad you were found but it’s too bad you missed the fishy flakes!!
The Florida Furkids and Angel Sniffie
Pretty sad when kitties come all the way from England and find you, Chey. Makes us American kitties look bad….
We have to thank Google for helping us find you Chey. Our mum says it was her eyes that went googly after all the photos she looked at. We know why you didn’t find the fishy flakes though. They were very tasty, thanks Cory!
DKM is doing crew at Atlanta. She is super excited to get to meet Chey next year when she does crew in Seattle!
They sure are some smart boys!
We are super excited too! And we just offered on the big house and assuming everything goes through for our sale and that one, we will have lots of space to house people until the Race! Although we are about 45 minutes away from the city proper!
#1 says she has clearly been slacking in her attentiveness because she can’t figure out what the “M” word is. Boo hoo……
Purrs,
The Chans
Eric & Flynn certainly know their World! Amazing.
The M word is horrible. That’s all we Cats have to say about that.
Hopefully, the “M” wil be smooth.
So glad you were found! I hope the “M” will be as smooth as possible for all of you.

We are glad ya were found quickly, Chey. Once again, we had no idea. Hope the M-thing goes well an ya like the place!
Concats to Eric and Flynn.
We were very moved by your story of how the Komen Foundation helped your friend!!
That is what it’s all about, just like what the CB’ers do for our kitties in need.
We are very excited about your future possible “M”!
We will keep our paws crossed and as long as Miss Gemini is OK with it I’m OK with it too.

Glad Eric & Flynn found you. Purrs the M goes smoothly, and that no cats get upset about having their routines changed, strange places etc.
Yay for Eric & Flynn!! They are smart boys 😉
It was really neat to hear how supportive the
Komen Foundation to your friend!!
The M word??? WE purr things go smoothly 😉
We’ll cross our paws!!
Purrs Tillie and Georgia
Yes, very happy that Eric & Flynn came through. : ) That is so wonderful that their friend was helped by such generous friends and the foundation.
We were thinking M was for Marriage….oops! NOW we get it! Glogirly loves the M word cuz she loves decorating. I’ve never M’ed, but I’m guessing I would not be a fan.
Best of luck!
Katie
Wow, you American cats sure are generous to your sick folks. Great story!
Eric and Flynn are very smart and well traveled kitties.
Too bad about the fishy flakes, Chey.
Good luck with the M word. Hope all goes well.
That’s great your friend was able to get some help when she needed it. There are some kind and generous people around.
We aren’t going to make Jan walk the plank. We took away her bottle of rum and she has to clean the poop deck. Then we’ll take another vote about forgiving her. 🙂
Yes, congrats to Eric and Flynn for figuring out where you were! I’m still wondering how they did that?
And that Susan G. Komen organization certainly does some good and very needed work. Kudos to all those who supported it.
We < 3 Susan G. Komen organization.
Great job by Eric and Flynn on finding you Chey! We are so glad to hear the Komen organization came through more than once to help your friend, bravo.
Hope your M goes as well and no nerves get frayed.
Eric and Flynn found you? Wow–I agree, we US kitties do look bad! Uh..what’s this about the “M” word? Tommy had a flyer stuck to our door about humans that cleaned houses. Tommy wants to call em. Tommy feels the the cleaner humans would fire HER.
That is interesting about the Susan Koman organization. I guess I have heard a couple of bad things but have always thought myself that it was a great thing. Glad to hear your story about the gal that didn’t have insurance. I have breast cancer but I am an old lady so I am on Medicare and they paid for everything. I did have to have a supplemental insurance too though. Thanks for telling us about this. Good luck with the move.
So glad you were found.
