#1 Play. Find something - anything - that strikes your interest and engage in it. It could be a candy wrapper, a laser beam, a stink bug, or a shopping bag. Play with it until you (a) find something more interesting or (b) need to rest.
#2 Rest. With the same abandon you attend to daily play, take time to sleep. Wherever. Little cat naps are food for your soul. #3 Groom. Clean your own tail. Make self-care an essential part of your well-being. And purr while you're at it. #4 Stretch. My cat has a stretching routine far advanced from Ashtanga. He reaches and leaps without hesitation, being present only in the moment. #5 Make your own rules. Have you ever told your cat to get off the counter only to find him there again a minute later? Be more like that: When thrown off, climb up again, and again, and again. #6 Be curious. About everything. A sense of curiosity - even regarding the most mundane - can make life an adventure. Taste it! #7 Eat when hungry and leave some for later. I often find myself more like my dog. I eat until the plate is empty. Then I also finish the leftovers on my kids' plate. I think the key to improving #1 through #6 is to keep your tummy only half full. It's about mindfully figuring out the point of satisfaction and then ... purr. 6/6/2015 01:43:52 am
I like the life lesson about being curious. True happiness can be achieved if you are adventurous and act out your curiosity. 2/18/2017 09:30:33 pm
I never knew that one could learn a lot of lessons from their cats. I can see that you are a very observant type of person. I find it really nice for you to share your observations. It is very smart of you to point out these things. I agree with all of them, especially the number 6 which states that we all have to curious. Great article! 7/11/2017 07:17:24 am
Cats, as they say, have 9 lives. I do not know where this kind of saying came from. But as I read your post, there was something that came up in my mind. Since they were curious about things and because of curiousness, they try and try things around them and that puts them in trouble. But the lesson that got me the most in your post is about the cat's curiousness. Indeed, if you are always curious, you are always learning. And additional to that is, we , as human, we have an advantage of a more comprehensive thinking. So as we try things around, use your mind and be safe because life will never bring us 9 chances always. 4/16/2016 11:50:04 pm
What you prefer most the dog and the cat as a pet. These are the two animals that really like people to adopt as pet in home. 8/1/2016 06:51:40 pm
I am happy that you learned a lot from your cat. I can see that you are very fond of him and he is truly an amazing cat. Based on the lessons, it is quite same as living life to the fullest. Even though there are many things to do, it is important that we enjoy life because we only live once and we can never get back time. Keep posting such inspiring blogs and I am looking forward to see your future posts. 8/2/2016 05:41:36 pm

However hard we try to take care of our cats, sometimes it is just inevitable that they still get sick. Through the years, we have been made to believe that the only available treatments for common cat sickness are the ones that veterinarians normally prescribe or those that can be found in conventional pet shops and groceries. 11/28/2016 03:28:42 pm
