Cuch in Her World - Paul and Isaiah's House

There is no doubt Jean Claude and Roxie enjoy the fabu life…electronic liter boxes, filtered water and Fancy Feast…travel…multiple residences with great  views, liberal work hours and luxury play items.  They also are very much loved.  My neighbors Paul and Isaiah have a cat too…Cush, always fun and lively who looks very young for her age.  In addition she also takes glucosamine for her joints and  get’s the best grooming possible as she is a very hairy cat  – cats are love – they deserve our best.

Frisky Morning Maneuvers

I’ve read somewhere that cats sleep 80 percent of the time.  I guess that Roxie and Jean Claude sleep all day while I’m at work cause they don’t sleep all night or much in the morning.   Although they sometimes get into rather loud, fur flying brawls, usually in the morning, this morning there was a demand for play time and the need to go outside.  It has been raining a lot here.   A lot of people had to be rescued from floating cars and their homes.

What to Wear?? My T- Shirt Drawer Following a Search by the Fashionable Jean Claude

OK.   Roxie, the Japanese bobtail,  loves television and old movies.  CCL says it’s the sounds of voices and the activity  on the screen that captivates her.    After all,  CCL maintains, animals can’t discern what’s happening on  television.   So  CCL and I agree to disagree on the subject of whether Roxie is actually watching television.    But I know for a fact Roxie is a huge fan of “Sex and the City,  ”   particularly Seasons Two and Five, which also happen to be my favorites.   Now I don’t know if it’s New York,  the fashions or the banter but if I turn on episode of  “Sex and the City” on Roxie  jumps on in my lap or saunters nearby  and at least appears  to  be watching Sarah and the girls on TV  – fascinated.

Still the  fashion maven (or cross dresser???)  appears to be Jean Claude, the black Bombay, who regularly goes through my t-shirt drawer – ah… looking for something to wear?

Jean Claude Looking Out CCL's Window The Day After Hurricane Irene Hit Our Town

Today one day  after Hurricane Irene hit the region where I live , it was  a beautiful day, perfect almost .  There are  a lot about sayings a  such as the “darkest day before the dawn”, “storms will come and so will sunshine and flowers”  etc, etc.    Hurricane Irene led to death and destruction for sure on a broad scale.  Still, there is a lot of truth to all those sayings.  This was also the week we celebrated the opening of a memorial dedicated to  Martin Luther King Jr., a man who left us a legacy of hope to build and to dream.

Preparing for the Storm

Posted on

A hurricane approaches the East Coast. Folks have been out buying supplies, bread, food, wood, liquor, preparing for the worst or for the storm. I, too, took steps to prepare, made a mushroom lasagna, stopped at my favorite Mexican chicken place and ordered an extra meal.    I also took a way around my wonderful neighborhood and stopped by my daughter CCL’s house to visit with Jean Claude and Roxie.  Only Roxie ventured out to greet me, after I turned the television on and began watching “Leverage,” a TNT show she likes.   I presume Jean Claude was still sleeping – you know how guys are.

You know it’s so funny, we know the steps to prepare for the worse, buy bread, buy milk, buy batteries but what about routine steps to prepare for the best for the time that comes after the storm, the wind, the rain.  We should start making rituals for that time too:  cleaning the debris, replanting the flower bed, fixing the roof or nourishing our souls.
