As many of you know, CCL and I have new addition to the family, Koko, a domestic short-hair is now nine months. She is very sweet and seems pretty smart. For sure she is time enough for Jean Claude. Koko has distinquished herself already as a climber – twice now while at CCL’s house she has climbed from the downstairs back yard to the top floor balcony. For right now Koko is at my house where she will have an extended stay. She did some exploring and she slept quietly on CCL’s lap for a bit.
Fall brings so much. Back to school. Cooler weather. For me it’s the most dramatic in change. Perhaps the colors or that it was always the time that as a child we went from play to work. Just as it is the first fall in six years without Roxie, now there’s Koko. Finally, finally Jean Claude seems to be warming up to the new kitten a domestic shorthair.
Experts have long reported the persons who have pets, particularly cats are often less stressed. I guess that’s true unless you are truly one of those hoarder types that make the news because you have 300 cats running around the house amid debris and empty Chinese cartons using the bathtub and the washing machine as a litter boxes. Jean Claude and Koko of course are civilized with Koko showing early signs of being a classy babe. Both provided me with relief the other day after a long stressful time at work. JC of course was typical male and Koko at first was standoffish…but after a time both came to cuddle with me for a bit. A movement of peace…purring.
I saw this story and I thought I would share. I love that Ni Hao means hello in Chinese. Bienvenue means welcome in French. Cats often triumph in the face of outstanding odds against them. Today, let’s all take a little of Ni Hao’s spirit and conquer something that is holding us back.
