I'm a firm believer that animals vastly increase our quality of life - especially when that life is being lived in the confines of New York City. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or a hermit crab, it's all in the pleasure of taking care of a creature that depends on you, and the satisfaction you get when that little guy looks into your eyes. Do I sound crazy? Maybe a little, but isn't love and compassion something that we all want to share? I think hoarding is a completely different story, but doing good for others (whether they're furry or not) is a good way to up your karmic quota. Lynea Lattanzio of The Cat House on the Kings, has created the ideal sanctuary for our friends in need, and she's an inspiration to animal lovers worldwide.
Laura E. Marcus was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, leaving her beloved city for a Midwestern education in 2001. In 2006 she moved to New York City, putting pen to paper at various publications throughout the city. Her writing has been featured in TRACE, SPIN, Gotham, Los Angeles Confidential, Sur La Terre, Heeb and VenusZine. She lives on a quiet block in the East Village with her two cats Monsieur Petit Cochon and Mr. Littlejeans, but swears she's not a crazy cat lady.
