A morning kiss, a discreet
touch of his nose landing
somewhere on the middle
of my face.
Because his long white
whiskers tickled,
I began every day laughing.

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr
... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test
paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe
about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the
owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to
move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it
makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

TRAINING HER WELL
by Bobbi Hahn
It's been an unseasonably cold winter here in the South, although we've escaped
the misery experienced in other parts of the country.
Every night I
snuggle deeper under the blanket, enjoying the cosy warmth of the flannel sheets
I splurged on a few years ago.
Around 2am,
I'm awakened by a cold nose and whiskers tickling my face -- Mozart needs some
cuddling. There are tile floors in several rooms of our house, and her feet are
freezing. She pushes against the covers with her head, the signal for me to
raise them, giving her access to the warm cocoon beneath.
She rubs
against my side, repositioning herself several times before finding The Perfect
Spot. Then she stretches out her paws... and the kneading begins. I absolutely
love it when my cats do this because it shows they're content and happy with
their lives. Bliss. Her soft purrs soon lull me back to sleep.
Annabelle's
buzz saw purrs usually awaken me around 5am when she jumps on the bed. She has
a thick coat of long white fur, so she's not looking for a cuddle beneath the
covers. She wants her morning treats and has decided it's TIME. If I ignore
her and pretend I'm still asleep, she walks around my head, stepping on my hair
and licking my face with her very rough sandpaper tongue. Sometimes she'll
leave and allow me a little more slumber, but if the food bowl is nearly empty,
she's relentless.
When the bottom of
the bowl is visible, she goes into full "Starvation Is Imminent mode" and
there's no resting until that bowl is overflowing with tasty cat food morsels.
I'm also reminded that the "stale" water from the day before needs to be
replaced.
My cats are
training me well.
-- Bobbi Hahn <bobbi at bobbihahn.com>
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Annabelle and Mozart
are patiently continuing Bobbi's training, with mixed results. Areas still
needing improvement are: returning home from work at the normal time, and
serving Fancy Feast Seabass and Shrimp Appetizer more often than once a week.
They are encouraged by the efforts that Bobbi is making and are optimistic that
she will get better with time.

lovely vignette of life with Annabelle and Mozart was first published in

A
Cat's Prayer'
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.
Lisa Malone
