Ask Fisher celebrates 2nd Anniversary

What a remarkable day this is. I am yawning and laughing at the same time. Looking back over the last two years – where we started and where we got to – can be pretty darn tiring and completely exhilarating all at once.
We have had fits and frustrations over the why’s and wherefore’s of keeping up a web site. We are still trying to get it all sorted out. But today. we forget about the tears and only remember the laughter. We are motivated and excited. Most of all, we are having fun. This adventure will not come to an end anytime soon!
Thank you to our readers and all the wonderful critters who write to Ask Fisher for advice. Thanks to my editor and his staff, my advice column continues to publish in the tbt* Tampa Bay Times. Without you all, we would surely lose momentum.
Just for kicks and with a slight bit of embarrassment, I thought it would be fun to re-post (without re-editing) my very first blog. The only difference is we added a photo to show how intimidated I really was. tee hee

Hello world!

Hello!
My name is Fisher.
This is my fist blog and I am very excited to talk with you. I decided to start this blog in order for us “pets” to discuss matters that are important to us in our world. To me, the idea of getting advice is to get another perspective on things that concern us.
What qualifies me to give advice, you might ask? I have been a cat for at least 6 lifetimes now, and have seen some pretty interesting stuff, met some interesting people, and been in some strange situations. For some reason, through all this, I have developed an ability to tune in to other beings. I suppose you could call me a kitty psychic, but you can just about imagine what the talk shows would do with that one! I don’t think your humans would be happy about that at all! Some of them don’t realize how much we think about things and have opinions about things, and oh yeah – have reasons for our actions.
We love our humans an awful awful lot and most of us are really really happy with them, but sometimes we just want to express ourselves without them suddenly up and changing our cat food because we are acting a little weird that day.
This blog is all about community – you might want to tell a funny story about your human, or your sibling, or the other pets in your household. You might want to whine a little. Admit it – we all do that at some time or other. You might want to ask your new community why your human insists on putting bows in hair, or whose idea was it to decide that you are Irish on St Paddy’s day anyway?? Why not go where you can really share with others of like mind. Your humans do it. You can too. Just ask.

Your friend,
Fisher
