I\u2019ve been blogging for many years. I used to write a blog for authors. Since I\u2019ve been writing the Klepto Cat Mysteries, my focus has been\u2014you got it\u2014cats. I\u2019ve been blogging here at the Catscapades blog site since 2009. Over seven years.<\/p>\n

People ask me, \u201cHow do you come up with something to write about every single day?\u201d Well, I listen to my cats. I watch them. I pay attention to other cats\u2014in the neighborhood as well as in my friends\u2019 homes. I read about cats, visit other blog sites related to cats, and do a lot of cat research.<\/p>\n

the answer. Wouldn\u2019t you like to know more about the mechanics of the purr sound cats make? What about feeding a cat? There are many choices of cat nutrition out there. What\u2019s best for your cat? What is it about a cat that endears us to them? For some, at least, it sure isn\u2019t the charming furry exterior of the cat because there are people who adore the naked ones\u2014the Sphinx, for example. Oh yes, there are so many, many topics to cover when writing about cats.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s my photographs that inspire a blog topic\u2014Lily getting a drink out of the faucet, for example, Sophie shredding a receipt or (heaven forbid) a check, or a cat peering out through a window somewhere in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

But I can always use your help. If you\u2019re interested in keeping this blog going, send me your blog or story ideas. Leave them here as a comment or email me at PLFry620@yahoo.com<\/a><\/p>\n
