Hello! I'm a New York City public school teacher of early grades, currently pre-K, who, as my husband says, can't walk past a toddler or a cat without stopping to talk. (Full criminal check to get into NYC DoE). Been a cat mommy since childhood, to a variety of tomcat, all shelter rescues, currently to 'Sir Crispin' from the city's shelter in Harlem. Before that were Mr Bix and Gato Blanco; Bixie came with me from London? Where I lived in the '90's, and he lived into his 20's. Crispin was my choice because of his prickly personality; thought no one else would take him. But im happy to cuddle either thoroughbreds or boroughbreds. 😀
