Relaxing Feline Friday

These are stressful times for everyone, so let's make this a relaxing Friday. First, here's me chilling out on Mum's bed. Actually, it's OUR bed since we both sleep on it. Mum says I spend more time on it than she does, so I guess it's really MY bed.

Next, here's a video clip of me receiving Reiki from Mum the other day.

She's noticed I'm a little stressed so I told her with my thoughts to give me some Reiki healing.
Just very short sessions because it gets a bit overwhelming.

This seems to relax her too and then we can both enjoy our afternoon nap.

Friendly Fill-Ins

And now here's our Friendly Fill-Ins for today. This blog hop is hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs.

1. I can’t wait for ________________________ to reopen after the quarantine.

2. I am in no hurry for ___________________________ to reopen after the quarantine.

3. These days, _________ is my default mood.

4. Have I ever told you _________?

MARIE

1. I can’t wait for the vet's to reopen (fully) after the quarantine. Athena was due her booster last month but In line with government guidelines, they are only offering medically essential appointments. 

2. I am in no hurry for shops to reopen after the quarantine. I mean other shops besides groceries and essentials. I hate shopping and this throw-away society. If people don't learn from the current crisis, then we are all lost. 

3. These days, anxiety is my default mood. But I'm also very angry.

4. Have I ever told you that I wish I'd trained as a classical singer? My teenage self would never think about such a thing. She wanted to be a pop singer. Back in the 80s, pop music was great! But by the end of the decade, I was well into rock and metal, and I formed a rock band with my brother. I still love my 80s music, though :)

ATHENA

1. I can’t wait for Mum to look less stressed after the quarantine. 

2. I am in no hurry for Mum to start going out after the quarantine. She doesn't go out much because of her social anxiety, but I hate it when she pops out to the shops with Granny leaving me all alone. 

3. These days, laziness is my default mood.

4. Have I ever told you that I don't much care for the heavy metal music Mum listens to sometimes? I do however like some of the pop and classical music she plays. It's so relaxing.

Caturday Art

Before I show you the art for this week's Caturday Art Blog Hop I'd like to thank you all for your comments on our last post. I am feeling better now, but Mum has been trying to make me eat wet food and I haven't eaten that since I was a kitten. I just won't touch it!

She has been trying to switch my food for ages. She tells me she is doing it for my own good because dry food isn't healthy to eat all the time. She thinks that's why I had the urinary problem the other day. 

What do you furry friends eat? Do you prefer dry to wet? Does your human make you eat things you don't like?

We didn't have time to do much 'art' with this photo. It is quite simple. Mum just created it using her old favourite Pixlr. 

In this photo I was napping on Mum's lap yesterday morning while she was giving me Reiki. She added the green light because this is a healing colour and it's the one she pictures in her mind flowing from her hands as she does the healing.

10 Ways a Cat and Her Human Mum Show Their Love For One Another

We know everyone is feeling the love this Valentine Week, but it's important to note (as we know many of you animal lovers do), that Valentine's Day is not only about romantic love. Why should it be? As a wise kitty goddess I am here to tell you that love, and certainly 'purrfect' love can be found with your adorable and adoring pets. So let us celebrate this beautiful love!

A kiss from Mum #cats catlove #catmum #catlady #tabbycat #tabbiesofinstagram #instapet #instacat #catsofinstagram

As you can see, Mum and I are totally in love with each other. Here are some of the ways we show our love for one another.

1 Cuddles
We love to cuddle. Mum is always cuddling me. And because I love her I let her hug me tight. If I'm not in the mood I soon let her know though! Cuddles and Snuggles under the duvet on a cold day (and night) are just the best.

Goodnight #cats #tabbycat

2 Purrs I purr all the time to show Mum how much she means to me and how happy she makes me. I also purr to calm her when she's stressed. This calms me too.

3 Eye gaze/slow blink We gaze at each other. A lot. And then I slow blink at her. Mum has learned to do this too back to me.

Goodnight! #cats #tabbycats #cutecat

4 We listen to each other I let Mum talk to me when she needs to. Sometimes she needs to complain and she has a lot on her mind. She feels misunderstood a lot of the time by humans so she finds me far more understanding.

5 Take care of each other We always look out for each other and there is never a moment when we are not thinking of each other.

6 Play together We have lots of fun playing games, as you can see from this video below, and this one

7 Sleep together We share a big bed and I love to snuggle up against her at night, especially when it's very cold. Sometimes I crawl under the duvet for a nice cuddle.

Goodnight! #athenacatgoddess #athena #tabbycat #adoptedpets #rescuecat #tabby #tabbycat #tabbycats #cats #cat #catmom #catmum #catlady #catlover

8 Heal each other My purrs heal my mum, but she also gives me Reiki healing which is great for me too.

9 Take lots of selfies together

10 I like to lick my mum's hand and arm, as you can see from this video.

Caturday Art

Welcome to the first Caturday Art of 2015!

Today, I am sending out special healing energy, direct from my healing paws, to all who need it, and of course some extra healing purrs as well!

You see, I am aware that some of my furry friends in the pet blogosphere are currently in need of some extra healing. There is sweet Joe from Marg's Animals, who I don't know that well but I heard about his accident through our friends at Alassandra, The Cats & Dogs, and of course there is dear Cody, who hasn't been feeling very well. So here I am sending out my healing purrs and energy to you guys. Mum has sent some too (well, she doesn't purr but she is trained in Reiki so she channels energy healing through her hands with loving light and thoughts). Some of you may already know that she has a special Facebook group where she sends free distant healing to pets in need. (If you want to request a healing just visit the link for details).

But you know what? We can all heal our friends, family, animals and even the world. The power is within us all. It's called love. The healing energy of love and positive thought can do amazing things.

So reach out with your hearts today and send loving thoughts out to those you love. To those that need it. To the whole world!

Love and Peace for 2015 and always!

What does your pet's voice sound like?

As an animal (and a super wise cat goddess), I can communicate telepathically with my mum and that's how she hears me back. Sometimes it's hard breaking through her clouded mind but she is very good at hearing me and so I get my needs met all the time, even if there is a slight delay getting the message across. This usually happens when Mum is having one of her off days.

Mum likes to call the voice that speaks to her from my eyes the soul voice. She imagines my soul voice to be a lot like her voice, though slightly more Cockney. Of course I am a Londoner so what can one expect? Yes, I may be a goddess, but I'm not posh.

You thought I was, didn't you?

Anyway, Mum says she hears a little Cockney accent coming from my soul when we link telepathically.

Though I wasn't born within earshot of the sound of Bow Bells (which to be a true Cockney that's where you should have been born), it doesn't really matter. We Londoners (especially North Londoners) tend to have a similar accent.

And you know what? Mum is right. That is what I sound like (even though I don't talk out loud).

When you humans talk to your animal companions how do you imagine their inner voice to sound like when they talk back?

You may think that it's your imagination when you hear your animal talk back, but Mum has studied animal communication and she knows that what she hears isn't her imagination but my own thoughts. I mean, come on, how else can we animals communicate if we can't actually speak out loud?

Mum picks up my thoughts pretty easily, and we are sure you all pick up your own pet's thought too, though sometimes you may dismiss the idea, thinking you were just imagining it.

Believe that you are really linking with your pet's mind and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You see, sometimes you might pick up an image in your mind. Well, you know what that is? That's right - your pet sent you that image!

That's how we animals communicate with each other too. We use telepathy.

So go on, please tell us how you imagine your pet's voice to sound like.

And if you do actually hear your pet's voice as a speaking voice then please also tell us! We make no judgements here:)

Interested in learning more about animal communication?

Then why not check out these books? Mum has read them all and can highly recommend them.
