I recently received tragic news concerning a beloved colleague, Kathy Shaidle of Blazing Cat Fur and Five Feet of Fury is gravely ill. Kathy is a blog editrix, author, columnist, poet and wife — the modern incarnation of the renaissance man. But above all, a fighter.
Kathy and I go back a long time, one of the counter- jihad OGs post 9/11. Once teaming with life, most of those folks have fallen away, sold out or worse joined the enemy (SE Cupp, Jennifer Rubin, etc), few had that testicular fortitude to fight the battles, wage the wars in the information battle-space in spite of the hate, lies, smears, defamation we that left employed to destroy us in their war on freedom and individualism.

In a world of spineless, gutless posers, all bark, no bite and even less loyalty, Kathy and her wonderful, devoted husband Art, are that rarest of things, steadfast, honest true. I have, in my life, met only handful of souls who were are principled human beings with the courage of their convictions.
Please contribute to her fight.
Kathy’s Fundraiser
Kathy in NYC several years ago.
Blazing Cat Fur, December 10 2020:
It is difficult for me to write that Kathy is suffering ovarian cancer and is now in palliative care. Kath is still fighting hard and we hope hope to hold on to her at home for as long as we can. She is doing well and has homecare nurses and a doctor attending.
This is day three of Kathy’s Fundraiser. We’ve had a wonderful response to date and both Kathy and I are very grateful.We know it’s a big favour to ask but we have about $50,000.00 dollars left on our mortgage and hope to pay it down before its scheduled end in 2024. As many of you know my Sainted Irish Mother has been looked after by Kathy and I these past few years. Kathy worked from home allowing me to work outside. That has now ended as I now look after both and our financial situation has taken a huge hit. Eliminating the monthly mortgage payment will ease our financial situation considerably and allow Mom to be looked after at home while I work part time. LTC in Ontario is a Covid nightmare and not an option.

Kathy and I have corresponded often and I always enjoyed her sassy view on life. Even though things are in a sad way for her right now, she is a fabulous reason for Christmas joy and sharing. Like Morticiaa, Kathy is one of the great people I know because of you and your open honest invitation to like minded people who admire your courage and that of those around you. Hang in there my loving friends.

This is very sad news. I will pray for Kathy.
My beloved mother passed away in June from Ovarian cancer.
An incredibly generous donation was made by an anonymous donor who loved my mother very much to the Israel Cancer Research Fund in her memory for ovarian cancer research and female reproductive research.
Hopefully in the future we will have better early detection of ovarian cancer and treatments.
Doctors also need to start listening to their patients and not dismiss their concerns.

May Kathy’s final journey here be filled with love, courage, compassion and strength. I pray that Kathy and her husband, their families, friends and loved ones find comfort and peace, and thank you, Ms. Geller, for sharing her life and her story. Your actions, missions–your very lives–inspire us all. G-d bless Kathy and her family, and may He bless us all……..

Met her on the Mark Steyn Cruise and also heard her on panels. A real free speech warrior. She also did movie reviews on the Steyn club site. I thought she had breast cancer which is more treatable. I am so sorry.

Just an FYI – Kathy passed away today. My wife and I had the pleasure of their company a couple of years ago – we took Arnie and Kathy out for breakfast at our local bagel joint and spent a couple of hours in conversation.The world is a sadder and duller place today.
