a dilute orange tabby cat standing on the stairs of a house. He blends in with the stairs that are almost the same color as him. In the corner behind him is a small decorative snowman holding a sign that says, Welcome.

Time to start thinking about November's Cat Square. It will commemorate Mr. Cornflake. He lived in the Rustic Canyon neighborhood of L.A. He was a great cat. #TheCatJoyProject

People standing outside the Vista theater. The neon sign is illuminated. There is a beautiful sunset in the background. The movie showing is Paul Thomas Anderson’s one battle after another.

If you live in L.A. County you can vote in any one of the many vote centers. Every election I study the map and choose one that piques my fancy. Here are my top four choices for Nov. 5th.

After meeting the Cat of Monteluco’s humans, learning the his name was Papillon and that he is no longer with us, I decided to gift them the square rather then leaving it for a random person to find. #TheCatJoyProject
