It's important to decorate your living space. You will be happier.

It is important to take care with one's appearance.

Self Portrait #2

Everything is better when you share it with your friends.

Some of my favorite things: Chili Pepper and Pookie.

Stuffed Peppers

When you have a stuffed pepper, it's the best.
When the pepper is stuffed with your favorite wild catnip . . . it's even better.

Even wise old cats enjoy a good roll around the floor with stuffed peppers.

Time passes

When your tummy hurts, time passes very slowly. You can sit on the steps and make people step over you to go up and down stairs. Time passes very very slowly.

But when you get up in the morning and your tummy feels all better . . . then you can do just about anything and time passes very quickly.

Hark, I hear angels calling . . . nope . . . just chipmunks.

Lesson #1

Wisdom is whispered

In the earlier days humans understood that they were simply a part of the earth. They knew they were only one small part. Now many humans think they are the greatest and most important part. But still--they are only a PART of the earth.

Everything is part of the earth. Humans, rocks, stones, plants and animals.

We are all one.

If you wish to see the world better, know the world better--to know yourself better--then you need to listen and honor others. You need to listen to animals.

Even though I am just a cat. I have lessons for you. I have knoweldge and vision, understanding, love and energy to give you.

But you must quite your soul, eliminate distractions and listen.

Wisdom is whispered--not shouted.

Yoga was invented by cats.

Patience

When you have lived as long as I have, you learn that patience is a good thing. It doesn't really matter if you get nervous or not. Things still happen. Getting nervous and being twitchy . . . is a waste of energy.

Patience grasshopper.
Patience.

Life comes whether you're ready for it or not. And sometimes not being ready for it is aokay.
