We say , one, or two paws up, either way, good luck to all readers, (and their owners)!

I was going to be given the same name as Ernest Shackelton's cat. However, one who feeds me discovered that this cat was called "Mrs Chippy." This was never really going to work for me, although it seems "she" was a "he" anyway. I'm told Mrs Chippy (pictured above) wasn't Ernest's cat, albeit he was technically (and ultimately all too practically), under his command. Whilst Mrs Chippy may have been happily resigned to the name, as a fellow Tom Cat from a rather tougher neighbourhood, it didn't work for me. Trust me, it would't fly in Harlem.
So, Ernest I am. Both Mr Shackelton and Mrs Chippy embarked on the same adventure, and either would have been worthy namesakes. Mrs Chippy had a diary, this blog is mine.
If you have the time you can read this and start to learn more about Mr Shackelton and Mrs Chippy's story.
One who feeds me went to the same school as Ernest Shackleton, hence this pre-occupation.
I now live in an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with my mate Fritz and the two feeders, one English and one not.

Fantastic! Our house is full of waving cats sitting at windows, but She has let the batteries run down so they are all still at the moment.
And She says email Her, she has a picture to send just for Ernest, of Jellicle cats who are black and white!

Blessings from Wales where we are all curled up and indoors as it is raining "old ladies with sticks", as they say in France, "cats and dogs" as they say in England and we know not yet what they say in Wales, but we cats say "dripping whiskers". And it is cold!
That's a happy cat alright!

Hi guys! Of course, as handsome bi-colors, you're both eligible to join Coats of Many Colors. Just send me a short biography and great picture of each of you and as soon as you're officially listed, I'll send you the html code for the membership button to add to your sidebar.
Fritz, since you're an orange cat, you could join The Gorgeous Gingers, too. Fat Eric is the group administrator. Ernest, you can be a Tuxedo Gang member. Contact Oreo to join.

I say one paw up very good luck, two paws up super-duper good luck!
ps: You MUST try some Tem-tay-shuns! They are very very very delicious. You will see.
MMMMM Japanese restaurant. MMMMMM sushi. That's what I'm thinking when I look at that cat.
Two paws up might mean, let's have some fun!
