1. I was pleased to hear that there will be a new Soundgarden album out at last. After the tragic death of frontman Chris Cornell in 2017 I wasn't expecting to hear any new material from the band, but after some legal issues they can now go ahead and release those tracks recorded prior to Chris's passing. 
2. There should be a World Sensitive Person Appreciation Day. Oh, but apparently, after just googling  there is! It's on 6th October. You can find out about World HSP/Highly Sensitive Person Day here. 
3. I have a lot of confidence in my ability to see through people. That is I can read people quite well. I don't know if I'm just relying on my gut instinct or simply that I'm good at reading body language but most of the times I've been right. Of course this is not a brag because I've been wrong too. Like when I've been blinded by "love". 
4. Being calm is easier said than done.

1. I was pleased to hear that Mum is back on her anti-depressants. She has been so very depressed and anxious lately and I was worried about her. The last couple of years have been crap so I'm not surprised she's been more down than usual. Mum finds being human very hard 💚
2. There should be a Brown Tabbby Appreciation Day. 
3. I have a lot of confidence in my ability to make Mum give me more food. She can never say no to me.
4. Catching birdies is easier said than done.

Wordless Wednesday


Today, as it's Wordless, we thought we'd celebrate the beauty of silence. Mum and I (and I'm sure all my furry pals) think this world is far too loud, and it's humans and all their inventions that make it so. Sometimes it can be really overwhelming for sensitive types like us cats and my mum. 

This morning she was ranting on about how she is fed up with being told she is far too quiet and shy when in actual fact the truth of the matter is she likes to think before engaging her mouth, which means she doesn't ramble on unnecessarily. 

This is mostly because she worries about saying the wrong thing or upsetting someone. But she also suffers from social anxiety, and maybe it's her starsign too. She's a Cancerian, likes to test the waters a bit before learning whom to trust. But I think it's because she is so much like a cat, and feline friends, are we not like that too? 

And like a cat, Mum does most of her communication by thoughts and telepathy. That's why she gets on so well with the animal kingdom, especially cats. In fact, if Mum ate meat and liked to hunt she'd make a great cat! But she's a vegan and doesn't believe in hurting living things. 


How is your human more like a cat or dog?
