The Welcome to Spirits podcast, a boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore.

Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world.

I'm Amanda.

And I'm Julia. And this is an episode all about a new story from around the world. I'm Amanda and I'm Julia.

And this is an episode all about those feline friends, Julia, the newest neighbor that I have

here in my new apartment, who normally hangs out on other fire escapes, but I am trying to

tempt her with some cat grass, black cats. Amanda, I was literally going to start this episode by

asking if you had any updates via the black cat that you had told me about recently. Have you seen

them lately? Do you have a name that you're calling them yet? What's going on? So I decided that

she has feminine energy. Okay. Our neighborhood filled with stray cats.

It's actually kind of a problem.

There are a lot of rescue organizations taking care of them, spaying, neutering, and feeding and rehoming them.

But this black cat lives on my neighbor's fire escape, which I can see from my living

room.

And now there is a fire escape outside my room.

And so I am really hoping that by putting out some catgrass, I have some mums there

for the bees and some catgrass for the cat, I'm hoping that she is tempted over. The update,

Julia, is New York City had some historic flooding a couple months ago as of when this episode's

coming out. For me, right now, it was very recently. And I was going around the apartment checking all the windows because there were lots of leaks that morning of the terrible flood when we got eight inches of rain. I looked across the street and there she was sitting in the window of a half-constructed building dry and warm. Good for her.

Looking at me. I'm so happy for her.

I know.

She's so smart.
