@EnigmaInitiative has just written and published her short memoir titled Post-Traumatic Stress Queen. She's released it on her WordPress blog, 'Lady Cat Lady'. Her memoir can be found at (https://ladycatlady.com/2025/11/27/from-trauma-to-triumph-a-memoir-of-healing/).
Her memoir mainly focuses on her time on this site, both as a blogger and as an employee of the site, plus some historical and autobiographical context.
Comments can be left here or on @OddsAgainst's blog post, Post-Traumatic Stress Queen by Debbi aka EnigmaInitiative, who is also pimping her memoir. Also comments can be left on Debbi's WordPress blog post though, unless registered, any comments will appear as coming from 'Anonymous'. Debbi will read all comments.
Though I totally understand Debbi's retreat from this site given how shabby she was treated, I do miss her in blogland. I suspect many others also miss her too.
The images above and below are not of Debbi and her menagerie of cats, including my son Zelensky, but of Lynea Lattanzio who has over a thousand cats sharing her Californian home.

I heard that she likes to be called 'Squeenie' . . .
An amazing and inspirational story, what a lady she is!! Since they were unable to see the value of this jewel, the site didn't deserve her.
You're right, the site didn't deserve her. Debbi was a genuine ambassador for the site.
That lady with all the cats is probably spending a fortune on food for all those felines and scooping a lot of kitty litter. I miss Debbi a lot, but Iām glad she is enjoying writing on her blog there.
A lot pf people here are missing Debbi.
I can smell those pictures. Having that many animals in the house would give me major stress.
Plus it would be very expensive to feed all those cats. They do look healthy though.
A thousand cats? If this lady perishes, nobody will ever find her body .....
Off to read ....
Hugs!!
The cats, which look very healthy, will probably bury her dead body in the litter tray!
@EnigmaInitiative I don't think Zelensky would eat his own mother!
Despite all that she's been through, she turned out to be a wonderful person with a big heart.
There's no keeping her down.
I miss our catlady mucho!!!! We went back and forth with the pleasantries but I have not read her memoir as of yet. I have been dealing with some minor issues here @ WrongLand. Nothing that I can't eventually resolve.
I hope you soon get things resolved.
Stunned and amazed that you were able to post the link! š
I started reading it last night. Our Enigma has been through a lot.
I was amazed too, sometimes it's an advantage not having an effective review process here.
Debbi has certainly been through a lot but she's still fighting.
Could be because it's not a competing site.
Thanks for pointing it out. I miss seeing her on here and her posts. I will check it out.
She's missed by many here.
Yes, Debbie is truly missed around here. She contributed so much giving warmth and cohesion to the Community, she was here a point of reference, always ready to help. I really hope she can sort things out with the site and, one day, decides to come back.
I think only a change of ownership and senior management would tempt her back.
@EnigmaInitiative Given the passage of time I can't see that happening.
Congratulations to her..Happy Friday my friend, I hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend..
The memoir is certainly a feather in her cap.
Do miss her
Read a bit from Odds posting
I hope she makes an appearance here.
@flannel_light I know she won't come back but she may read and even reply to comments here.
@EnigmaInitiative You've made my day!
