Today is National Hug Your Cat Day

111065So take a moment and give your cat a belly rub and a treat. Also, remember the thousands of cats looking for a #fureverhome in shelters across the country. Cats are very easy to take care of and if you get two of them, it’s even better. No more additional work and less stress for both animals.

The Real Thing

Posted on

Koko, the celebrity cat and Jean Claude, the black Bombay,  are back at their primary residence at CCL’s in Washington, D.C.  Koko  enjoyed her stay at my house.  Several nights she left me a little surprise, a toy mouse,  which faced  me at the door to my bedroom.  Later she would  remove it to play with it during the day.    The mouse  looked very real but it didn’t frighten me ,as a gardener I’m not afraid of bugs etc.  In fact,  I found Koko’s intent  to amuse and please me genuine and touching.

Authenticity  and being “who you are” is  the latest personal elevation trend.   Life coaches and other success gurus  are constantly urging people to be their “authentic selves.”  Yes, “keeping it real ” is the so-called new path to personal and professional success.    Alas,  for some the notion of being geniune is beyond their grasp.  There are a lot of phonies who seek to  impress or manipulate.   Their fear of who they are has engulfed their souls. For them “keeping it real” is  about as real as the toy mouse Koko presented to me in the morning.

It’s Not Size That Matters: When It Comes to Houses

Posted on

Jean Claude, the black Bombay and KoKo, the domestic shorthair are having a ball at CCL’s other house ( not in Brookland). Though smaller the house affords them unique hiding places and extra large backyard. This inspired me to include Mel Walters “The Smaller the Club” – the bigger the party- yeah baby.

Tunnel Syndrome

Posted on

Just finished reading an article that suggests house cats need stimulation and don’t sleep as much as reported.  That’s not news to me as Jean Claude demands  midnight play.  I was looking for a tunnel to give JC and KoKo another option for play.  it’s been suggested I simply build one.
