ME

Welcome to the Cativerse. I’m Katt and this site is my little haven where I share my experiences and the various things I tinker with.

I am a former radio broadcast engineer, news announcer, ‘DJ’ and voiceover artist. I’ve also worked in IT as a Linux admin and software development, among a long list of other odd things I’ve decided to pick up and try along the way for one reason or another.

I am a real person from Western New York where I currently reside with chosen fam, which includes at least two cats who have claimed me as their servant. I am AuDHD and undiagnosed most of my life. I also have dilated cardiomyopathy, unpredictable arrhythmias, autoimmune disorders, neuropathy, long Covid and and other ‘fun’ things that keep life interesting. I can go out and mow the lawn if it’s not too humid and be fine, but tomorrow I’m struggling to breath and cranky and so low energy I can barely move my arms. Don’t even get me started on the brain fog.

So yup… I am one of those “you don’t look sick” but in reality pretty much disabled people. I can do many things, but I require a lot of down time and surprise! most employers don’t like that very much. I’ve lived life on the edge of complete CHF for over 20 years as I struggled to work and take care of a household and children. I know many can relate to all of this. You’re my people.

I make mistakes, screw things up, misjudge things and learn from my mistakes every day. It’s my hope that others can benefit from my experiences and feel more comfortable with themselves as artists and creators and humans as I learn to do so myself. I depend on this site to showcase my work and people who enjoy and make use of it dropping me a few bucks to help support me and the Cativerse Crew. If you enjoy my work, please let me know, and consider a small donation to help keep the kitties from eating my face.

Thank you,
