Urban Fur: Callie & Peter Revisited
Filed under: 11206, Crazy Cat Lady, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Stuff That Makes Miss Heather Happy
Now that the holidays have come and gone, yours truly has recovered from whatever ailment was afflicting her AND is more or less settled into Chez Shitty 2.0 I opted to while away the sunny (if brisk) day with a sojourn through my community’s Industrial Business Zone.
While the reasons I opt to pound the pavement in this area— repeatedly— are manifold, today’s peregrinations had a purpose: to check in on my favorite feral feline of them all. Callie, as seen at left with her “person” Peter. The fact of the matter is I have seen neither hide nor hair of her since Hurricane Sandy struck. Naturally I have been quite concerned about this.
Anyhoo, this afternoon I finally made it to Bogart Street. This is where Callie holds court. I checked her shelter: nothing. Then I heard a voice:
Look behind you.
So I did.
Not only is Callie doing just fine but she was enjoying the day’s victuals in the comfort of Peter’s automobile! Suffice it to say this made me very, very happy. Those of you who wish to do so can view more images of Callie and Peter enjoying each other’s company by clicking here.

A lass named Courtney from OUTRAGE writes:
Hi Everyone,
As promised from last night’s OUTRAGE meeting, I have prepared a log sheet for people to document illegal truck traffic in preperation for the Illegal Truck Enforcement Task Force. Please make sure to take note of the date/ time, location, truck description including type and license plate number, and a description of what illegal activities you are witnessing. The idea is to have this documented in time for the Illegal Truck Enforcement Task Force spearheaded by OUTRAGE, which will be held on Thursday January 3rd. This is the first time we will have the 90 and 94th Precincts, DOT, DEC, DSNY, CB 1 Environment and Transportation, local businesses and other stakeholders sitting down to discuss enforcement of the numerous illegal garbage truck activities harming our health and safety. This is a big step in pressuring the City to take some action towards relief and it is our responsibility to give them evidence of how large the impact of these trucks have on our daily lives. Please pass the document sheet on to those who can help us to document. I will be collecting the information before the meeting on January 3rd so do your best to collect in the following weeks.
I have passed this sheet on to those who did not attend last nights meeting, but are well aware of the issues and would be able to assist us in this effort. Take pictures if you can and remember that all this will be given as documentation and evidence for why the police precincts and City agencies must take an active roll in this Task Force. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and thank you so much for your assistance!!!
Anyone interested in participating in this study should download the above-depicted log-in sheet by clicking here, fill it out and send it (along with any pertinent photographs) to Courtney via email at crenken (at) stnicksalliance (dot) org by January 2nd. Let’s do it, north Brooklynites!
