Back when I was more responsible, I often submitted posts of Thalia, Ebby, Salem, or Athena to The Carnival of the Cats, the brainchild of Laurence the proprietor of This Blog is Full of Crap. I once even received an e-mail from Laurence himself over a particular entry I submitted that included an animated gif of Thalia. I was thrilled that the number one cat blogger noticed my work.
This past week Laurence and his family lost their cat, Edloe, and being that Athenamama was conceived as a tribute to a lost companion, I feel great empathy over Laurence's loss.
Edloe has touched so many, and it is because of her loving father that she has become so loved as a cat, and as the Queen of The Carnival of the Cats.
Rest easy, Edloe.
