The Soul of a Cat

An Epiphany...

Well, while mumma was driving home today, she thought... what would Natasha do without me? And what surprised her was- she couldn't think of it. It was simply impossible. Because I can't live without her with my age progression. I have special needs and she is my person. I couldn't bear living without her or with someone else. She is my heart.

On the other end of the tail, my mumma wouldn't fare well without me either. Ever since she rescued me from death she has seen me grow and blossom from a timid semi-feral cat to a social butterfly with the humans she trusts. She knows me inside and out and can sense when something is wrong with me. We can read each other like books.

As I get older I realize my needs are changing. I need a warmer bed, a little more nap time, sometimes I forget things, and there surely can never be enough lovey time. Of course, I am still active- I get out and about- I can move, but I am slowing down. I need my mumma all the more these days. An epiphany occurred today... my mumma and I can't go on without each other.

Just a Relaxed Day Over Here...

I woke up to mumma pouncing on the bed and wrapping me up in a hug. I was a little surprised at first but quickly got to purring. I love her. She then got ready for school and I followed her around like a puppy as I usually do, making sure she's alright. She seemed especially tired today though, I don't know why.

When she went to school I relaxed back on the bed and fell asleep. That was where I spent the rest of the day. I relaxed and meditated until mum came home, happy to see me.

Then she went and got her hair done in the evening time. When she came home it looked lovely, if I do say so myself- but the smell... that salon smell, I protested against it by scrunching my nose up and running away! After a while I got used to it though, just the initial smell got to me...

Otherwise... this evening has been quite uneventful... I hope nothing pops up... it would be nice to have a good day...

It's Been Like the Sea Over Here...

The tide comes and goes... mumma will get emotional and them she will calm down. She needs daddy, Naythan, and me all the time since Ando is at the trainer's getting some training done. But of course, we are always there for her. Especially me.

We have some sort of telepathy, I can feel when she is feeling bad and I will go and find her wherever she is and I will sit with her and let her squeeze, twist, and grab me all she wants to let her emotions out. She never hurts me. She just needs someone to hold, and I help so much, she says.

We love each other so much. We have such a strong bond, as I get older I can see in mum's eyes that she worries about me- but she need not. She takes good care of me, I have many years to stay with her.





And for the story that mum is writing for those of you who are reading it- mum will get started on it again. Do not fret.

Peace to all,
Natasha
