Coogie, the Dumpster Cat

FOUND IN A DUMPSTER BY A FRIEND ONE MORNING, AN ADORABLE LITTLE BLACK KITTEN WITH SKY-BLUE EYES CAME TO ME. I HAVE BEEN RESCUING ANIMALS FOR OVER 40 YEARS, BUT THIS ONE WAS DIFFERENT. I KNEW IT WHEN I SAW HIM. AFTER A WELLNESS CHECK WITH THE VET, I INTENDED TO PUT HIM IN THE SYSTEM AND FIND HIM A HOME. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VET GAVE ME AN APPROXIMATE BIRTHDATE OF JULY 7, 2017 - I KNEW THIS CAT WAS SENT FOR ME AND ME ALONE. SEE I LOST MY HUSBAND ON THAT DATE - JUST 8 WEEKS PRIOR - AND IT WAS NO COINCIDENCE THAT THIS KITTEN LANDED ON MY DOORSTEP! TWO YEARS LATER COOGIE WAS SETTLED IN WITH ME AND COVID HIT - IT WAS THEN THAT I DECIDED TO WRITE A BOOK, NO, A SERIES OF BOOKS FOR KIDS WITH COOGIE AS THEIR HERO. COOGIE WOULD HAE THE LIFE OF MY LATE HUSBAND AND HIS ILLUSTROUS CAREER AS WELL - BUT IN A FELINE WORLD. COOGIE WAS HIS CHILDHOOD IMAGINARY FRIEND AND NOW HE IS THE STAR OF HIS OWN SERIES WHICH WILL INCLUDE MANY ADVENTURES, MANY REAL LIFE FRIENDS MADE INTO CHARACTERS TO SUIT THE STORIES AND EACH BOOK WILL IMPART A FUN AND USEFUL LESSON FOR KIDS (AND ADULTS). THE FUNDS RAISED WILL GO TO RESCUE ANIMALS ALL OVER THE GLOBE AND COOGIE WILL BE HONORING A GREAT MAN WHILE ENTERTAINING CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
