Saturday File: COOL CAT TIME = Make Time for ME!

Cool Cat Time

Hello MY Darling!

This is a new feature called the "Saturday File".  A little short note from me......!

I hope  you are enjoying, stretching, sleeping, chasing mice or out with some 'cool cats'!

I decided to sleep in, MY faithful secretary arrived with breakfast which I had in MY donut bed! Lapping with excitement the warm dish of MILK , soon became history!

Christan Bale as Bruce Wayne

I decided to watch a very cool movie on TV "Batman Begins (2005) with Christian Bale.  Christian Charles Philip Bale was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales on January 30, 1974. Bale's father, David, was a commercial pilot, and the family lived in different countries throughout Bale's childhood, including England, Portugal, and the United States. He also played in the Dark Knight.

Entertainment Snacks!

 

          

Other "Cool Cats" I hang out with
 

Reminder:  Whatever YOU do or choose to do, make time for YOU.   Chill out with feline and canine friends and make Saturday and Sunday a very CAT COOL time!

To Be or Not to BE: Cat and Dog Supplements for the taking???

 Hello MY Darlings:


I have had a lot of questions pass my desk on the issue of: cat care, supplements. 


Like HUMANS,  we need to take care of our  feline and canine bodies: chomping on 'cat grass' or the casual stretch doesn't do it sometimes we need help ...DARLINGS! (Purring and washing face)

  A girl has to look after herself.

While my PAWS are geared to counselling, wrapping MY mind as a ball of wool in intellectual pursuits.   ^..^ Always consult with your Veterinarian on animal health. Occasionally, YOUR Secretary or HUMAN can make moderate suggestions! 

(Lyrically throat - munnenyow, munndenyow)

^..^I've peppered this blog with a little DIVA humour (as you know I would, we cats like to make a game of it)! 

Do you have your PAWS ready? Get your HUMAN to bring you a snack of kibble and a cool bowl of water!

In my practice, clinical field work and resource often overlap life. Oh yes I admit it ..... "How to drive your human crazy, and have fun in the process"!   I've collected some of the 'sage comments' from emails / See what you think!!!
 

 Cat PURSECTIVE and casual observations:  

^..^1) (Paw on hip with air of authority). Look cats don't (or won't) chew supplements - no self respecting DIVA would. Dogs do LOL  (cause they WILL eat anything on command or simply do it to please you);

Ask the right questions -

^..^2) Chihuahua writes: "We are not like cats and often won't ask WHY, as the food being offered or treat is the reward - (cats will sniff and back up if not sure as they are the inspectors)"!

^..^3) "Dogs love to PLEASE humans, and wag, wag, wag of the tails. Is the food for me? Is it? Is it"?  Ever see us at the vets we love to socialize not matter what".

^..^4) Pill cutting: - poor human tries "The Alfred Hitchcock Approach".  A little mystical planning ---knife carefully poised on the supplement. (Human thinks 'How hard can this really be'.  Diva anticipates the obvious.....broken into million pieces. Tap, tap, tap.......

P

I can't Watch!

ing, ping, wang, pong ricocheting  round the kitchen. (Diva laughing impersonating "Bette Davis" ).  Better than a tennis match or like buzzing bees in flight.  MY human used so much force that the flat bladed knife, her face got as red as a fire breathing dragon.  I thought her ears were going to emit smoke like a steam engine! Enough to set off the fire alarm";

I'm getting dizzy!

                                                                                                                                                                            ^..^5) (Yawning bored) "She tried also tried mix them in my water bowl,ummm lets play!

It passed the time as I waited for my dinner!!!  ha ha ha, loving it'!

 

^..^6) "The supplement is a nice purple colour!  Will it make my tongue the same? 

Will it change the colour of MY water. Will it match My theatrical outfits or shoes? Do they glow in the dark?  Are they fish or chicken flavored...sure don't look like kids Flintstones".

^..^7) "Do "Vet labs"  have a special group of humans they call 'taste testers'. I bet they didn't tried them either'!

^..^8) "Watch out for those 'pill givers' instruments, keep your mouth shut. Yes, humans have to be trained in this skill...however..........

Be like a clam-shell  hide pills in the corner of your mouth! Split them out like cherry pips, she won't find them until later'. 

I remember MY human shared a story.....I listening lapping on my bowl of milk. (Thoughtfully): Her mother as a child, didn't like 'bread crusts' and used to hide them in her apron. Then ran down to the 'chicken coop' (did someone say CHICKEN) in the bottom of the garden, gratefully offering these tender morsels!  Another strategy was to hid them in the hall cupboard under the stairs, to be found later at some unknown date!  She was one smart human.....I like her style!!!! ^..^! This just might work ...ummmm.

That's a good story! PAWS for Thought!

Well MY darlings, what has been your experience with 'pills, supplements' and ways you have managed to 'wriggle out' pill popping adventures!

RE Laxing!

The sweltering humidity has gone! (Not like we cats can unzip our coats like a raincoat LOL).... At 3 a.m. I put my nose to the window and smelt the 'new air' enveloping my whiskers and tickling them till I was giddy!!

The Friday File: Beating the Summer Heat _ Diva Style

Welcome!

Hello MY Darlings!

Well, I hope you are enjoying the summer so far.

Even the window is hotter than NORMAL!

It is hotter than a 'cat on a hot tin roof' outside!!!

Here in MY studio I'm just right! Not much human traffic outside today, unless they are in their cars!!!                                     

I wash my whiskers sparkly clean
 as I reflect how lucky I am!

Fresh H2O for Kitty 

The sun is shining, with it's warm inviting face, MY body benefits from rays. When it gets a bit too much I shift PAWS around to the end of the table, where the air conditioning is!

  
Oh, MY secretary has just bought me a delicious offering.  In a moment I'll  dunk face first into my water bowl with an ice chips (don't lap up too quickly other wise you'll get tummy ache)........I guess I have trained her well ^..^!

Favorite playmate! Now you see it NOW you DON'T

I think I'm going to have MYSELF a lazy day!

Tin Man you have to hydrate!

With some friends!!!!

I follow DIVAS advise

                 



                                            
 10 ways to BEAT the HEAT!

1.  If you do go out find a shady spot;
2. Don't stay in the sun for too long, take your umbrella;
3. Bring along a friend, they can bring along ice-cream;
4. Dive into a kids wadding pool (paddle with the best of them);
5. Humans, DON'T leave feline or canines unattended in the car (or children for that matter); Double check your car before locking... retrieve your companions!
6. Excessive panting means drink MORE, keep cool.....be sensible;
7. Go out BEFORE 'High Noon' or 'After dinner'...great for walking  on     the Beach;
8. Make sure your SECRETARY brings food, water and cold face cloth;
9. Pack a little extra just in case you see a feline or canine without   

Enjoy your Summer!

If you stay in..you might do what I do..........go for a SPA!

Pamper YOURSELF with ATTENTION!

DIVA has it made!

There are more treats in store..follow the DIVA!!!

                           A little personal note:  We wish little "Dundas" the lion kitty ...

                                            all the very best as he continues to heal.

The Friday File: Going Incognito - or How I Escaped the Wardrobe Mistress!

Well Hello MY Darlings!

Welcome to the Friday Files!

If you have stumbled upon this, or just grabbed a bowl of milk, or decided to escape from your HUMAN...you've come to the RIGHT PLACE.

Five minutes to myself: Theatre Life is so DEMANDING!

Rest your PAWS travel into the TARDIS,

(escape, escape...) to the worm hole, rabbit hole, wardrobe or in the Church they call it 'Rood Screen'.

Incognito Strategy

In the Theater the prop department simply calls it "THE SCREEN"! Darlings...don't kid yourself; we know "privacy screens" aren't all that they are cracked up to be. You don't even get time to practice a decent ARIA!!

  
Be aware of the of the "Dreaded Wardrobe Mistress".

I call her the Wicked Wicked Witch:

YOU are under MY SPELL!

Everyone knows the power SHE wields.  Like Betty Davis, an intellect with cunning resources. She WILL  hunt you down like Sherlock Holmes, THINKS before you do!

I even got on the catline to my cousin "Sammy" a master of disguise in his own right (said "I can't compete with her, I'm at loose PAWS")!



Now you would think, with ALL years of training I could out smart her; out scream her, out wit her..or does she know me too well?

Well....life is a bit like this:
 

Does this sound familiar: 

"Human Mummy says, kids leave me alone for a moment, kids say....you aren't paying me enough attention".

MY Secretary says “Diva it’s dinner time, come and get it” Diva mutters in cat whisper...(where is the mute button for for that grating cutter voice).. Is there NO PEACE!?

I'll make myself invisible

Sush: Don't give away the PAWS

The Wardrobe Mistress says: "Diva stop being a Drama Queen! If your costume is tight ...you shouldn't have eaten that plateful of sardines last night…I warned YOU”.   

 Diva replies “Oh leave me alone, I just want to hide”.

Hints for being effective at INCOGNITO:  

1. When trying not to be found out, DON'T STICK your paws BELOW the wooden screen;
2. Make sure you EAT so your stomach doesn't rumble a freight train!
3. Any voluntary body twitching from dreaming..... WILL result as a dead giveaway;
4. Get the prop department to build a drop stairway so you can ESCAPE like Houdini;
5. Use your understudy and bribe him or her as necessary! 
6. Make sure the Wardrobe Mistress isn't reading Houdini before YOU! 
7. Be ONE STEP AHEAD!

                                                       Remember: be one PAW head !

 

A GREAT Diva can outsmart them ALL
