Having now shared the “tails” of all the wonderful cats submitted, West Side Mews will be taking a pause from publication.
What fun it has been to converse with cat lovers from all around the Upper West Side, and especially to meet the fabulous felines featured in the run of 21 biweekly columns. Before another cat casting call, the writer plans to spend some time creating a painting of all the kitties from West Side Mews, to commemorate the glorious-ness of our UWS cat community. Watch this space….
Meantime, in honor of all the pet moms and dads providing safe, loving, and happy homes to cats across New York City — the “Statue of Liberkitty”.
Thanks for the wonderful feline articles.
I hope you are off to great adventures. Your articles were engaging, fun, and heartfelt.
I’m aure readers will miss you.
Wonderful painting, Victoria!
Thank you for all these wonderful column! Enjoyed every one of them.

Bravo Victoria, from RamBeau’s mom.
As a kitty staff member (we all know that we work for them), I’ll miss you! Really enjoy those stories, and share them with a cat-living friend in Oregon. He’s a fan, too! Look forward to your return!
I will miss West Side Mews! Will be looking for the next casting call. I have a lovely candidate who commutes between TX and NY.
Oh nooo I missed putting my kitty in the City story… and he would have looked so Feline Fine in the painting! Please bring back the cats! I will miss looking forward to my biweekly

As a cat owner myself, I loved Westside Mews…will look forward to its return. Awesome picture!
I hope your “paws” is restorative, energizing and fun, and that you’ll be back for more great profiles. I’ve loved every one of your stories, and so appreciate how well you get our cats. I’ve showed your story on our Freyja to countless friends and family members.
Your cat stories brightened everyone’s day on the Upper West side. Meow!
I join my fellow West Side Mews devotees in wishing you a refreshing “paws”, Victoria–I too have loved, and eagerly looked forward to, your truly wonderful and heartwarming biweekly column. Three cheers for your witty and delightful “Statue of Liberkitty”, and for your great upcoming project to create a collective portrait of all the dear, unique kitties celebrated in West Side Mews (so far!😺) Brava!👏
