    What a great post. Very fitting for this blog, as well.

    Transit Museum: If you’re reading this, I second the Cat Cam idea!

    Anybody might think you’re some kind of “cat lady” or something…

    Looks like one of mine — especially the “chubby” part.

      I prefer the name “Cat Girl” – we’ll reserve “Cat Lady” for when I weigh 100 more pounds and actually own ten or more cats.

    I’m planning on going down to the city two weeks from now, and the transit museum was on my list since it’s been a while since I’ve been there. I’ll definitely have to keep an eye out for her :)

    enjoyed your post — what a sweet kitty!

    CAT CAM Yes! A must do for the museum. A live feed will allow viewers to mark when they see interesting content to look back at too.

    Loved your post! Such a sweet Kitty :)

    Great story and great photos!!

    I also agree a cat cam would be purrrrr fect for Sadie. That way, those that can not get to the museum personally can see it through the eyes of one that knows it well!

  10. Great photos! I saw Sadie when we visited the Transit Museum 4 years ago, and I couldn’t be happier to hear that she’s still there. Hooray for Sadie, and hooray for Cat Girl!

    I think they should get her a playmate and help her lose a little weight. Exercise and quality wet food diet will help. We owe it to her.

    She’s lonesome. She needs a buddy! More cat to catch the rats!=)

    Great photos of a museum employee who enjoys the company and attention she deserves. I’m glad she has brought some sparkle to the area she deigns to reign. Hopefully, the rigors of her job will bring her some weight loss. After all, she is the chief rat exterminator on site. A cat cam would be invaluable to asset her job performance.

    Sadie needs another feline companion. It’s lonely in the museum all by herself.

    I visited the museum yesterday and became aquainted with Sadie for the first time. I only learned of Sadie form your article after going home and googling “transit museum cat.”

    At first I thought she snuck ino the museum but the collar made me think otherwise. Upon closer exinination I became a bit bothered by the huge patches of missing fur on her lower back. I dont know cats enough to tell what might have caused it but it doesnt look too good.

    • Emily says:

      Oh, that isn’t very good… She looked okay the last time I saw her, but I do remember at one time she had some pretty matted fur. Maybe someone tried to trim off the mats. Hopefully she’s alright!

    Thanks for this! I love seeing stories about kitties in urban settings living out their life without belonging to a traditional home.

    If Bloombooger kicks Matilda out of the Algonquin again, send her to Brooklyn. She’ll be appreciated there.
