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.

Flashback Friday 2014, Plus Friendly Fill-Ins

Happy Feline Friday! 

This cute flashback is of 3-year-old me from May 2014. I think from the hand position, Mum was giving me some Reiki healing. She often does it to help calm me, but she has to be calm herself first. However, we help each other keep calm so isn't it great that cats are healing animals?

OK, sorry, I know, not just cats, but dogs can be great therapy too. Mum says most animals can heal humans.

We are joining Comedy Plus for Feline Friday and Four-Legged Furballs & 15andmeowing for the Friendly Fill-Ins. 

1. I could not _________ without _________.
 2. A simple pleasure I enjoy is _________.
 3. If I could change one thing about myself, _________.
 4. _________ is hard to find these days.


MARIE
1. I could not do without creating something.
2. A simple pleasure I enjoy is afternoon naps with Athena.
3. If I could change one thing about myself, I would not be such an introvert and would not have social anxiety. Being introverted is fine as I don't want to be an extravert, but the social anxiety and general anxiety I suffer almost every day. I don't want!
4. Honesty is hard to find these days. Perhaps it's always been this way, but the older I get, the least I trust people. 



ATHENA
1. I could not do without my mum and without food!
2. A simple pleasure I enjoy is afternoon naps with Mum.
3. If I could change one thing about myself, I would not change. I'm purrfect!
4. A mouse is hard to find these days. Mmm... should I have said that? Mum will freak out if she saw one - but at the same time, as an animal lover and vegan, she would not be happy with me catching it and gifting it to her. Don't worry though, she knows I'm a carnivore and feeds me meat.


Don't forget Caturday Art tomorrow!

OZZY is still looking for his forever home!

Why won't anyone give this handsome boy a home? There must be a forever family out there for him😿

From Wood Green, The Animals Charity: "Ozzy has been looking for an adult-only home for the last year. When he’s not playing with his toys he will be searching for that little spot of sunshine to relax and unwind, even in the cold winter months. Ozzy can be unpredictable in his behaviour until he has formed a bond with you, but once he has, he is a very affectionate boy who will jump on your lap for cuddles and fuss. He needs the right home environment with a patient and understanding owner who is happy to work alongside our behavioural team to give him the space he needs whilst he builds trust. He can potentially go with other pets if we feel they are the right fit for him." Click here to find out more about him.  You can  see Ozzy on YouTube here

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.
