Bunny Bloom's latest adventure takes her to Tokyo...so we took her there too! 🇯🇵

This fourth illustrated chapter book in the globe-trotting series Hello, My Name Is Bunny! is the perfect holiday gift for young readers and cat lovers of all ages.

(Calico and I just finished chapter four and Bunny has already befriended an elderly blind man, flown on the back of a peregrine falcon, and narrowly escaped a basement brawl with a feisty pack of street cats!)

Grab a copy for yourself (and for 🎁) and support cat rescue (did you know that Bunny is Stray Cat Social Club's most famous rescue?! 😹) at ✌️

Landed back in NY from our Taiwan travels (including a visit to Houtong Cat Village...more to come on that!), out on a late-evening-jet-lagged feeding session and look who's waiting on the sidewalk to greet me...Rambo! (Really he was just locked out of the warehouse. 😸) Good to see you buddy!

Looks like Blue approves of the new Dead End Crew HQ location! 💙

Otis kept a close eye on today's shelter relocation efforts. Found a decent spot for them - level ground, less garbage than before...but also less hidden. 🤞it'll be an ok temporary spot, just a few steps down the tracks from where they were.

Insider tip: heather gray helps hide the cat hair. Trust us. We've tested it. 😹

Blue update! 💙 I've been seeing Blue sporadically lately, in part because my feeding schedule has been all over the place (sometimes lunchtime, sometimes as the sun is going down...), but be used to always be there waiting for me along with Otis and Red.

Foot traffic on the train tracks has been steadily increasing lately, due in part to the warmer weather and a large hole cut in the chain link fence which makes my feeding easier...but also makes it easier for anyone to access the area.

I know that Blue is quite sensitive to noise and to other people being around; he's always eating with one eye on the environment, always spooked by the slightest sound and ready to bolt at a moment's notice. That's how a cat survives on the street.

We've been debating for a while now how we should handle the Dead End Crew. It certainly seems like their quality of life has plateaued out near the tracks, and anyone that's been following along for the past few years knows that their shelters have been moved no less than four times in the past year and a half, partly due to construction, and once, quite literally due to arson. 🔥

The dilemma, as it stands: Blue seems to be ready for the next step in his socialization, but Otis is not. Otis is still quite feral. He trusts me, he's ok with me, but he's still feral. Blue, on the other hand, has really opened up and become a sweet little guy and he certainly deserves to get off the streets, but Blue and Otis are bonded brothers and have been since I've known them.

So, morally, ethically...what do you do? Do you break up a bonded pair because one of them might be ready to move on? Is that extremely detrimental to the one that is left behind? Or is it unfair to the one that is ready for the next step to be kept in a less-than-ideal environment?

I've yet to feel comfortable with any answer to that question.

But with the current feeling of Blue possibly slipping away (I doubt it's really happening, just, again, bad timing) and the poor conditions (and shady characters) on the tracks, the current thought is to move Blue to our backyard with Popcorn.

(Wow I just hit a caption limit! Who knew?!Will wrap up in the comments! 😺)

Did someone say adventure kitty?! Here we see brave Nicky on a solo expedition, camping out in the wilds of the chair leg forest at the base of the dinner plateau. 🌲
