This was the first photo taken of me, the day the humans found me and brought me into the house.
I was VERY hungry.
I was VERY scared.
I was VERY cute.
They named me Jimmy.
Fin and I became friends fast.
Darnell took a while to like me.
I loved my new family.
One day I got caught chewing shoes.
Thats how I became Jimmie Chew.
I was interested in the camera.
I thought I could become a model and help pay some cat bills.
I started practicing.
I learned some tricks.
We had so many pictures, we thought we should start a blog.
We decided I would blog for a year.
I practiced my tricks everyday.
Sometimes I got interrupted.
Sometimes I got distracted.
(I got distracted a lot)
I started going out to clear my head.
I met new friends.
(I started wearing sweaters)
I fell in love.
I became a very cool cat.
I became a very smart cat.
But I wasnt having any luck with my modelling career.
I was a very happy cat.
I fought with Fin over treats.
Darnell and I never fought. 
We always shared our treats.
We sent my picture to various contests we found on-line. I went to a few modeling agency’s, but they were all crooks.
.
My year of blogging is now over,
and I am happy to say this picture of me below will be in a 2014 Calendar from Workman Publishing in NYC.
(it’s a start)
I had a great time writing this Meowmoir.
My plan for next year is to try to make movies.
The End.
P.S.
I want to Thank You for watching me grow! 
Jimmie Chew

Jimmie, it’s been so much fun to watch you grow up and learn to be a model! You are still cute and talented and I think someday you’ll get your break.
Thank You for stay’n with me for a year!!
So that is why you are called Jimmie Chew! This was a brilliant farewell post Jimmie. I have really enjoyed your wonderful pictures. Congratulations on your 2014 Calendar gig. I wish you every success with your movie career x
Thanx B!
Oh, Jimmie! My cats and I will miss you very much.
We enjoyed watching you grow and learn. Make sure you at least post here to tell us what your youtube name is when you start uploading your videos!! Take care and best of luck to you ❤
Thank you!!!! We will let you know!
Jimmie,
I’m not bored with watching funny photos of the things that you bite, and even though you don’t have anything for the vet to take away any more, I still enjoy your blog updates!
thank you 🙂
Jimmie, I so loved learning of your origin. How so very tiny you were 🙂 And in the third photo you say you were scared but your big wide eyes don’t seem to hold fear. They’re just plain old beautiful! I loved how they all took you in, even if Darnell took a little longer with it.
You so make me smile 🙂
I was tiny wasnt I. Thank You for follow’n me. We will stay in touch!!!!
What a delight it has been sharing your first year, Jimmie 🙂 good luck and look forward to the next phase in your career 😀
Thank You! We will keep you post’d!
Will we ever hear FURom you again?!? We love you & wish you all the best!!!
we’ll let you know when our video is ready! Thank You for being our friend!!!
Oh No….I didn’t know that this is the last post of you, Jimmy Chew….*sniff sniff* The first time I read about you was your interview with Rumpy dog! I look forward to watching your movie, Jimmy Chew!!! Good Luck! 🙂
That Rumpy is a good dog! (he wrote about me again today)
Thank you for being our friend!
Aw, bye Jimmie!! I’ll miss you little guy! Good luck with everything
Thank You Kerry! you were one of our first friends! Glad to have met you!
Glad to have met you too 🙂
we’ll miss you. you are such a talented and adorable kitty!
Thank You love! Sprocket and Jimmie grew up together in the blog world.
We will keep in touch!
What a lovely overview of your year, and belated happy birthday! I understand why your humans can’t keep blogging as much, it’s time consuming and they need to find ways to pay for the food you and your brothers keep chewing through!
But I hope we’ll still hear from you occasionally, even if it’s just links to your videos? (I’d pay to see you on the big screen!)
Thank You! Its been a fun year! we will keep in touch.
Oh, Jimmie, I knew you always said you’d only blog for a year, but I thought you’d get hooked and continue. The Internet will be a poorer place without you, but I look forward to your videos. Cole, Adele, and I wish Karen would work on her technical skills so we could do videos, too.
Karen’s publisher has been putting out a calendar related to her book, “How to Work Like a CAT” since 2009, and not one of us at Cats Working has ever been in it! So I tip my hat to you, my friend, for breaking into that field. It’s quite an achievement.
I will miss your posts, but respect your desire to move on. Please stay in touch.
Your friend,
Max
Oh Max you were always one of our favs! thank you for follow’n. We will stay in touch!
Happy Belated Birthday. We hope that you will be posting your movies so we don’t lose touch with you.
The Florida Furkids and Lexi
Thank You my furfriends! We will keep in touch for sure!
Oh no! I’ll miss you. 😦

I hope you’ll come back to the world of blogging one day! 🙂 It was really, really nice to meet you all!
Thank you so much for sharing your meowmir with us over the last year! Loved all of it. If you start in the movie industry (and you upload to youtube) let us know your channel so we can subscribe! Have a wonderful career and good luck.
Thank You so much! You were one of our first followers! You were one cool bird (birds)
We will stay in touch!
It’s been a fun year, Jimmie! You have grown so much. We’ve enjoyed your pictures and we can’t wait to see what you do next.
Purrs,
The Girl, Oliver and Obi
Thank You my friend! it has been a fun year!
On to the next adventure!
Dearest Jimmie…
I am so emotional right now I can hardly write. You were my very first friend on wordpress and I’m very sad that you’re leaving.
I suppose it’s what happens to models sometimes, they transition into movies, but just so you know I’ll be thinking of you and if you go to L.A. please don’t forget to leave a forwarding address.
Good luck
Love,
Susannah
Oh S.B. you have been my fave!. (you always left the best comments).
i will miss you the most!
Thank You for your friendship!
I’m very sad. I love Jimmie so I really hope he makes it big in the movies. You did a great job.
All good things come to an end, but am sorry all the same…thanks for all the fun you’ve all given us.
thank you so much, it has been a fun year, but you are right, All good things must come to an end. Thank You for follow’n
It was kind of you to let us know it’s ended, rather than leave us wondering what had happened. Good luck!
Aw, I’m a bit sad too, you were one of the first I followed, and the very first I drew pictures of! We’ve both come a long way since then, though, so if it’s time to do new things, then it is time. I will miss these posts, however. Thank you for the meowmir and thank you for introducing me to do many wonderful people!
We have come a long way baby! Thank you for being our friend.
I will miss all those cute pictures of you. I’ve always looked forward to seeing them. I hope to see you in the movies. Let us know when your first one comes out.
Thank You Bongo! we will keep in touch, stay out of trouble buddy!
Oh Jimmie – we will miss you! All us kitties here would read your blog and tell momsy about the cool toys you had. And momsy would get some for us because she trusted your judgement. So thanks Jimmie!
We all love your stories through pictures. Think you would be a very popular children’s book!
Don’t disappear!
Oh thank you so much! this was fun to write, but its time to move on, we will stay in touch.
This like a movi, a nice movi. Best wishes for your future endeavors 🙂
Thank You! We are working on the movie.
I’ll miss you Jimmy! Let us know when the videos come out so we can watch them on youtube.
Thank You my friend! We will keep you posted on the video. (we have to learn how to edit)

Jimmy Chew – that’s so cute!
One talented kitten!:-)
I loved this! So creative Thanks for stopping by my blog and giving me an opportunity to see yours. My favorite photo? A hard choice, but it’s the one where Jimmy Chew is holding the paper umbrella.
Great Picture story. Happy bday big boy. I love that you chew shoes! Keep up the photo career. You have lots of fans out here in the blogisphere, even if it doesn’t pay the rent. – DogDaz
This is awesome! 🙂 thanks for visiting by the way!
Very cute blog. I love cats, wish I weren’t allergic. Very good taste in shoes-thumbs up on fashion savvy.
Great story! (and pics of course) I’m sure you have a great modelling career ahead of you – Jimmy Chew wearing Jimmy Choos, that’s gotta work…
Well I am sorry that I missed the whole year, but I see you have posted a film. I think you are a wonderful model and I wouldn’t doubt a movie star as well.
What? You are quitting?
Quitter!
