Roxie and Jean Claude have been at my house for all of one hour and as of this minute Jean Claude is now locked in my garage. I went in the garage to get a cat blanket to cover new ottoman. Didn’t see JC follow me in but I guess it was just too much for his need to explore. I did see Roxie try to follow me. I stopped her!! Jean Claude will just have to wait.

To Pee or Not to Pee
The Palace
Well, if you have animals you know they do things like pee on the rug, poop where you don’t want them to or have a hairball that you have to clean up.
Animals will also use this type of behavior as a means of communication. Roxie does this when she wants to show displeasure. I won’t get anymore graphic than to say, that Roxie can work a nerve. But you gotta love her.
However, my point is that we all should pee on the rug a little more often. When we are upset at someone, pee on their rug. Let them know you are upset and why you are upset. Cats don’t hold it in and neither should you!
Letting Go
Ignore it. I noticed JC and Roxie tend to let go of things that should get them upset. I accidently locked Roxie outside today after I finished tending the yard . Later I opened the basement door there she waiting to be let in – as if her right… walking inside gingerly and confidently.
The Brazilian Edition
Brazil is a country of contradictions like any other country. But it’s fabulous! Bahia is fantastic and I love Sao Paulo. I didn’t expect to love it.
However, as always, cats follow me everywhere and I saw the cutest kitten at an outdoor nightclub. He found some food and then started meowing so loudly. I wanted to buy him food, but at that point I was out of treats so I pray that God will take care of him. The kitten started showing out, but unfortunately I could only take one picture of him.
When you travel, who you travel with is just as important as where you go. Travel with those who like to travel like do you. Some people like to relax and just chill. Some need their days to be packed. .
What Cats Teach Us
Cats teach us a lot. People who don’t like cats tend to say that they don’t like them because they are sneaky or aloof when nothing could be further from the truth. Cats are loving creatures who love those who have shown that they deserve love. Cats are also loyal, knowing who are the people who mean them good. Dogs will cuddle up to anyone who walks in the house. Just like in life, we should be open to allowing new people in our lives, but we shouldn’t let every person who crosses our path into our lives.
For the last three weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of having the cats at my house. It’s been a good journey, complete with Roxie running away, Jean-Claude demanding to go outside and me running out of wet food (a big no no).
I’ve also played with them, combed them and watched them fight and this morning saw the evidence of a pretty big fight downstairs.
Gotta love those cats.
