Franny Syufy – Cats Expert for About.com

This is a large format photograph of Franny Syufy and her son. It is nice to get a good look at her 😉 — good photograph too. Who is she, you might ask!? I know her well, but don’t know her! What I mean is that I know her as an author writing about cats on the About.com website. On that website you will see her face in a very small avatar-sized photograph, which doesn’t really provide enough information.

Franny Syufy and son carrying two tuxedo cats — Oct 2013.

I bumped into her Google plus webpage and then bumped into this nice photograph of her with her son carrying two black-and-white cats which they’re recently adopted in October 2013. They are, in fact, tuxedo cats. They named their cats: Gaither and Sage. Good names. I’d like to know where the first name came from! Perhaps Franny named him after William J. “Bill” Gaither a gospel singer?

Franny Syufy is, in fact, a well known figure in the internet cat world. Well, she is as far as I am concerned. You get to know them. Jo Singer, who writes for PoC is another. Jo also writes for other websites such as Pet360. Ruth (Kattaddorra) and Elisa are in this group too. Elisa writes about dogs a lot on the Examiner.com website.

Catster.com employs quite a large number of cat writers. I don’t know them like I know Franny Syufy.

  1. Hi Kathryn, I am sorry to hear that you no longer received the newsletter. It looks like a change in policy at About.com. I’ll have a look at it and see what comes up.

  2. I enjoyed your weekly newsletter for years and then one day they said they couldn’t send it any longer to my e-mail address. I have hunted and hunted somewhere to contact them about this with no avail. I really miss your news letter!!! I am a cat lover of many years and new information on taking care of them and giving them the best life I can is of great importance to me. Is there any way you can contact them to contact me to get this straightened out? Thanks

  3. Michael – not that I know of. I don’t think so – I mean it’s possible I have read her but I was unaware of who the writer was – I’ve read quite alot of cat stuff so it’s possible.
