Paw Prints

Posted on March 26, 2010 by Azeena

So the cats are with their mom today, although their imprint remains.  Fuzzy toys,  rumpled rugs,  paw prints on the glass coffee table in the basement.   Human beings leave imprints too.    There are people who make one’s life better just by being who they are, flaws and all.  There are people who try to pull you down consistently.   Still peace knows no extremes.  Sometimes the people we love bring conflict but I read once “peace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to cope with it.”

As I write this I think about  the people, the animals and things that bring peace in my life.  By virtue of our humaness there is no perfection in any relationship or endeavor.  We can only strive for peace and  ultimately there are people (and pets) who bring a smile much of the time.

Home Again

Posted on March 25, 2010 by catzandalldatz

Well, there was drama moving the cats from Grandma’s to my house tonight.  Due to an accident, I only have one cage for them and I guess that they were tired of traveling together.  JC refused to get in the cage and he always gets in without a fuss.  Roxie was her normal drama queen self.  So I had to make two trips to bring them over.  Then I left to go to dinner.

When I came home both cats were at the door waiting for me at the door.  I’m not surprised that Jean-Claude was there, but Roxie isn’t usually a homebody.  Then when I came upstairs, they immediately followed and JC wanted to go out on the deck.  I opened the door and he’s still out there.  Roxie did go out, but came back pretty soon to spend quality time with her mom.  Per her normal self she immediately came back in, started walking on my back since I’m on the bed and them jumped off.

Let’s see what tonight brings.

March Madness

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Azeena

There seems to be a lot of violent play between Roxie and Jean Claude of late. I watched them last weekend at my daughter’s house. Loud, hissing, fur flying everywhere. Last night at their other residence(my house) it continued. Furniture was moved. Their scratch box upended. They are after all animals but I wonder as they watch the news as I do if they got the wrong message. It would seem that the violence preached from the right wing  has gotten them energized.  They are after all animals and tend to take their cues from loud noises and senseless animation.

Morning Plans

Posted on March 23, 2010 by Azeena

Jean Claude wanted to go to his spot by the window early today. Guess he had an early morning meeting with his bird friends. He pulled at the blinds and then when I woke up he patted the blinds to indicate to me to pull them up. I obliged. Later I let him outside -or rather he and Roxie peered outside from the upstairs porch into the yard. Too cold still , plus I think they were both entertained with watching me make wheat pancakes. For some reason I have not yet got the hang of it. Cooking is relaxing and sometimes challenging — especially wheat pancakes.

Or the mom will come after her.  Right now Roxie is asleep on the bed which means Jean-Claude is downstairs asleep.  JC loves his women, but he hates being disturbed when he is asleep.  He will generally stay downstairs or underneath the bed except when you are in a deep sleep.  Somehow he can sense when you are in a deep sleep either from sickness or from just being tired.
