Daily Newsletter for October 14, 2018

It was a whirlwind weekend and it is not over yet. Thinking about all the events, all the driving, all the thoughts while sitting in traffic. The biggest takeaway so far; stay true to your commitments because people notice. 

Fall arrived overnight.

Our weather has been erratic to say the least. Heat and humidity seemed to rule the weather pattern accompanied by the most horrible rain I can remember short of hurricanes. Fortunately, we have not had to deal with a landfall hurricane, just the rain and storm surges.

From the Desk of the Cat

Cats have come a long way, especially in the human/cat relationship. Once thought to be “aloof” and “independent”, humans are learning that cats are social creatures that do not like change. 20 years ago, it was believed that cats needed to be outside and, reluctantly, came inside. I experience first hand that cats are quite comfortable inside. Given food, water, a comfy place to play and sleep, the indoor cat is quite happy. Cats are protective of their “territory”. They will greet their humans at the door, play fetch, perform tricks, and teach their human the fine art of observation.

Cats Are Like Potato Chips

You Can't Have Just One

“Cats are like potato chips; you can’t have just one.” This is the saying from a plaque my niece gave me for Christmas. It is so fitting. 

Anyone who shares their life with a cat will understand. Like potato chips, no two cats are alike. Each one has a distinct purrsonality. Each one brings their own special magic into your life. 

It is a very grey and dismal Monday which has been the pattern for a few weeks now and it is getting tiresome. The cure for the Monday blues - purrs. Purrs are the cure for many ailments. The question of why cats purr is still unanswered and many theories exist. I propose my own answer; a cat purrs to bring peace, contentment and calmness to its surroundings. There is magic in a purr. 

Wishing your world be touched by magic. Enjoy a “purr”fect day!

The Cat's Ten Commandments

It’s time to lighten things up a bit. Thank you to the author of The Cat’s Ten Commandments:

•  I am the lord of the house.
• Thou shalt have no other pets before me.
• Thou shalt never ignore me.
•  I shall ignore thou when I feel like it.
• Thou shalt be grateful that I even give thou the time of the day.
• Remember my food dish and keep it full.
• Thou shalt spend most of thy money on toys and gifts for me.
• Thou shalt always always have thy lap ready for me to curl up in.
• Thou shalt shower me with love and attention upon demand.
• Above all, thou shalt do anything it takes to keep me happy.

In return, the cat will provide you with purrs to soothe you and meows to let you know you are not alone. 

I would love to give proper credit for these 10 Commandments that I found on Facebook months ago so any insight you can provide, please comment on this post.

Thank you!
