At some point in the early 1980s, I taught English as a foreign language (ESOL) in the Broward County night school program. Jennifer, who taught in the classroom next to mine, came in during break that first evening to introduce herself. She remembers that I was sitting at my desk, reading The Cat from Outer Space.
I don’t remember reading this book, but the fact that I love cats and reading quirky books, and anything about outer space, it makes sense. This book by Ted Key later became a movie of the same name.
After Jennifer left Florida, we kept in touch sporadically. She eventually ended up in Colorado, working for the NSA.
In 2018, our daughter, Megan, and a friend went to Denver and met Jennifer for lunch and a tour of the botanical gardens. Megan’s friend was wearing a tank top with an emblem across the front that read, Cats from Outer Space. The synchronicity spans nearly 40 years. What are the odds?
Today, I zoomed with Jennifer’s book club about The Synchronicity Highway, which came out in and this cat from outer space synchro came up. Of the 10 women in the book clubs, only one didn’t work for the NSA. What I find particularly invigorating about this group is that they work for the same organization that Edward Snowden did.
They know stuff and aren’t allowed to talk about it. They, like the black women in the early days of the space program – the hidden figures – have a certain power as a group. And most of them acknowledge that synchronicity is a part of their lives.
I like that. A lot.
Love this movie Awesome post!!!
That’s funny Trish, because I wrote a post titled
‘Audio Excerpt from Whitley Strieber’s Transformation Read by The Bookworm?’, which was about Roddy McDowell and his movies, and I mentioned the movie
‘The Cat from Outer Space’, because McDowell plays Mr. Stallwood in the movie –

I had been mulling over writing a follow up post about that movie, plus cats and people who are into UFOs, because I noticed how people like Mike Clelland who were big into the study of the UFO phenomena seemed to be fond of having a cat around the home.
I’ve put off writing the post until I can watch the movie somewhere first.
Good synchro, Daz! Let us know what you discover after watching it!
Great synchro! I want to find the movie now.
I need to find the movie, too!
Of course I love all stories about cats. One is sitting next to me as I write.
Snowden knows what’s coming. He’s part of it. Your friends might know too.
People you’ve been taught to trust have been lying to you for a very very long time.
So when are you going to reveal this big secret?
I’m not touching that one. But I do love cats. They are multidimensional beings. Lovely photo.
