Paws Through Time: Time-Traveling Tabby Featured in Oracle Visionary Magazine

 Earth Changes (March Oracle Visionary Magazine)

By Cal Orey

Time-Traveling Tabby
Paws, Claws, and Quantum Laws: Feline Odyssey Through Dimensions!

In a world where seismic and cosmic events reshape the Earth and alter the fabric of time, an underappreciated cat becomes an unexpected bridge between past and present. As its new owner and cat experience the complexities of time travel, the feline’s heightened senses alert her to impending Earth changes that could redefine their existence. Together they forge a bond, revealing tales of feline companionship while facing the mysteries of the Universe…

In the short story Time-Traveling Tabby: A Journey Through Whiskers and Time, a scribe navigates a complex time-based landscape, and her newly adopted cat becomes a conduit to the past, revealing tales of feline companions from bygone eras. With its keen senses, the cat alerts its owner to an impending celestial event, forging a bond between them that transcends time and space. As the feline peeks into a future time loop in 2032 (impacts of climate change and extreme weather events), it must trust its instincts in order to confirm a calm future. [PAWS ACROSS TIME: ORACLE VISIONARY MARCH 2025, PAGES 18-19--Oracle Visionary | Oracle Visionary March 2025 | MagCloud]  

The tale revolves around a young orange tabby cat adopted by a seasoned prose weaver who takes “Gatsby” on a journey through time, visiting the 70s, 80s, 90s, and the 21st century, and eventually, the future. The feline narrator tells the saga of adventures, which are deeply connected to his owner’s past experiences and the stories she shares with him about her previous cats. As the cat listens to these feline tales, he feels a strong desire to prove himself and fill the paws of the scribes’ past adopted cats who endured Earth changes through decades in the U.S.:

1970s:  In 1975, on the island of Hawaii (Big Island), the Kilauea volcano erupted, causing geological changes.

1980s: The eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington State in 1980 caused widespread destruction and ash fallout.

1990s: Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in 2005, leading to catastrophic flooding and a humanitarian crisis.

1999: Y2K concerns over potential computer system failures at the turn of the millennium led to widespread preparations that fizzled with minimal disruption.


The Cat’s Journey and Sci-Fi/Fantasy Elements

As Gatsby time travels with his owner, he develops a keen intuition that allows him to sense an imminent earthquake, which he warns his owner about by scratching at the closet door for two days before the BIG event changes his life. The act of courage and loyalty wins over his owner’s heart, and she begins to appreciate the great Sir Gatsby’s wonderful listening skills and the special bond they share. The cat’s ability to sense the earthquake and his journey through time with his owner are the key sci-fi elements in the story, showcasing his uncanny powers and the unique connection he has with his owner. The cat’s experiences and the stories this owner tells him about her past felines who survived earth changing events, creates a rich and immersive narrative that explores the themes of time travel, intuition, and the human-animal bond. 


Take a peek at an excerpt from the Time-Traveling Tabby:

THE SHAKE-UP - Time's Tectonic Shift

Then, BAM! seismic waves shook my senses for two days…

The sensitive woman noticed my odd scratching the closet door;

I saw flocks of birds fly away from rumbling to come,

An earthquake imminent; shaking and rolling floor—and MORE!

Sci-Fi/Fantasy Themes

The story is heartwarming and thought-provoking exploration of the sci-fi fantasy genre, with a unique twist of having a feline narrator who travels through time and experiences the world in a way that is both familiar and strange. The cat’s journey and his owner’s stories about her past cats create a sense of nostalgia and high-tech wonder, highlighting the idea that animals can possess a deep understanding of the world and the people around them. The story’s use of time travel and the cat’s intuitive abilities adds a layer of sci-fi/fantasy that makes the narrative engaging and mesmerizing.

Paws, Claws, and Quantum Laws: A Feline Odyssey Through Dimensions

Paws Across Time: 

A Pawthor's Sci-Fi Journey to Healing 

  Time-Traveling Tabby

 Cal Orey, M.A.In a futuristic Lake Tahoe, a novelist grapples with the loss of her senior cat while her new feline companion listens to her unveiling stories of past pets. As the orange tabby feels intimidated by so many big paws to fill, he senses an approaching cosmic event; after his brave actions their bond deepens, transcending time and space. The confident cat time travels into another dimension and sees a secure and bright future. Alas, the short novel told from a creative feline’s perspective is a testament to the healing powers of pets and people.

Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE A SCI-FI/FANTASY BOOK WITH A TAGLINE: Paws, Claws, and Quantum Laws: Feline Odyssey Through Dimensions!?

A: The concept of Time-Traveling Tabby is a book featuring a young, fluffy orange tabby cat who was gifted to me, an author, living in South Lake Tahoe. Fate brought us together. When my beloved senior Siamese cat passed, I searched for the perfect chill feline; I adopted Sacramento-based Gatsby—interviewee 202. The narrative explores the journey of the new feline as it struggles to fill the void left by its predecessors while also establishing its own identity. 

Q: YOU’VE HAD CAT COMPANIONS IN THE PAST YEARS NESTLED AMID A CABIN WITH A TOWERING PINE TREES BACKDROP.  WHY DID YOU USE THIS FUTURISTIC SCI-FI-ISH TECHNIQUE TO TELL THE TALE?

A: My link to the South Shore and felines goes back decades. In the short tale, the seasoned scribe shares her past pet relationships with the tabby… Echoes from the ‘70s, 80s, New Century, and into 2025. And then, the cosmic happening is climatic with a resolution of the newly confident feline peeking into the future and discovering his fate.  Using a cat as the narrator and giving him the ability to sense a paranormal event fall into the sci-fi/fantasy genre. I use words like time loop, future shock, and show imaginative images of ghost cats to a spacecraft with a cat inside it. 

Q: THIS BOOK REVEALS LIFE LESSONS. SO, HOW CAN A CAT TEACH READERS ABOUT LIFE’S CHALLENGES?

A: It takes empathy and imagination! Tenacity: The city cat’s determination to find its place in a mountain cabin despite change teaches resilience. Intelligence: The cat’s cleverness in adapting to Tahoe’s seasons and wildlife can inspire readers to think resilience and adaptability. Acceptance: We all experience love and loss and must move forward. Fate and Timing: The idea that everything happens for a reason can provide comfort during difficult times.

Q: ARTISTIC CHOICES: YOU USE BLACK-AND-WHITE ARTWORK AND RHYME STANZAS TO MAKE THE TEXT ENGAGING. WHY? 

A: As a kid, I was a Twilight Zone and Dr. Seuss fan. Using whimsical storytelling is down-to-earth like me, a granola girl in Tahoe, past and present-day.

Q: SO, WHY DOES THE SCI-FI/FANTASY CATEGORY WORK FOR THIS TAHOE TALE INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS LINKED TO THE SHORE?

A: I channel Gatsby to tell the stories of his new owner’s past cats, decade by decade, going back in time. He listens and listens to her fascinating ghost-like feline tales based in Tahoe and faraway, too, shared inside her rustic cabin more than 50 years old, filled with cat paintings and framed photos, cat trees, toys, and a fish aquarium.

Q: WHAT COSMIC EVENT HAPPENS THAT DRASTICALLY CHANGES THE SCRIBE’S CAT CONNECTION?

A: I don’t want to dish a story spoiler, but I will tell you the BIG imminent event comes from a real happening on the South Shore; it inspired me to write this tale of sixth sense, courage, loyalty, and love. The end result: As a devout cat lover, I value the human-animal bond which is healing for the mind and body.
