It's been said that people that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.
At The Edge of The Water
I have always been so fascinated by the sea. My home, in Scotland, overlooked Port Glasgow. 1841. I grew up with the salty scent of the ocean, the sounds of the gentle crashes of the waves and the beguiling bustling of each new ship’s crew as they offloaded and onloaded their cargo. I would watch from the window of my parent’s room, sitting and staring from dawn till dusk, soaking in the sun and the smell of fish from the small open gap of the window and I would hear the distant sound of sea shanties as they drifted far out to sea. As the years moved on it became a pattern of mine to sit at that window, studying the ships as they came to our shore. I patiently sat there until I could see the first ship dawn on the horizon, just peacefully sitting there like a small toy-like ship silhouetted by the sun. Before long it would grow bigger and bigger until docked at our shore the people pilling off its deck had become larger than the ship on the horizon. It towered with great magnitude and magnificence over the cowering houses; the masts so high it looked to someone as small as me, like it touched the skies. But too soon the ship, following its protocol, would be loaded up with new supplies and new passengers as the same Captain and crew would sail the boat away with ghostly elegance back onto the horizon.

It may come as a surprise, if you’re a new cat owner, that many health problems may befall your feline friend. Some problems are easily preventable, while others are hereditary.

What it means when your cat goes belly up.
In the song When Doves Cry by Prince, there is a line where he sings” Animals strike curious poses.” I had a lot of cats when I was a teenager but they were all outdoor kitties except for one. For this reason, I did not pay attention to certain signals that my felines were giving me. I observed them sleeping in off positions at times but did not give it much thought. Basically what I remember is that when they saw me they came running and meowing because they knew I was the one who would feed them.

While the cat’s away...
If you were expecting this to be yet another of those long-winded stories from Jon McKnight, I’m sorry to disappoint you - though I suspect that’ll come as more of a blessed relief.

Topic: What colors do cats see? As mammals, cats' eyes are similar to dogs and even those of humans, but that is with the naked eye because behind those charming crystalline and colourful spheres is an impressive visual acuity.

Cats make awesome, superb pets. Living with a Cat gives bliss and a caring kinship, and you will think that its an honor and advantage also. A catlike friend will rapidly motivate your reverence for its effortlessness, style, and magnificence. You might just join a huge number of others in a fabulous, profound and amazing human-cat bond.

The Empress of Evil
My family loves animals. Over the years, we've had just about every pet there is. From parakeets to fire belly toads, mice to guinea pigs, rabbits to hamsters…we’ve had them all. We raised chickens in the backyard for nine nears, beloved pets that happened to gift us with delicious eggs. We’ve raised gerbils, turtles, fish, one neurotic dog who lived for nearly 17 years...and cats. Cats are the best, the one animal I can't imagine living without.

LOVE RESCUE “Meow…Meow…Meow!!!” The laments were at first almost inaudible. I seriously began doubting my own ears and even worse, my own mind. “I swear I just heard a sound. Was it possible that I was imagining a feline symphony?” I asked myself as I scratched my head. “I mean I was tired from the endless walks through my Junior High School’s hallways and staircases, the long list of heated fights I witnessed in our school premises as well as the pressures of the daily life of just being a regular 13 year old. Imagining a cat meowing might be feasible.” I concluded. I decided middle school and my teenage years had done a number with my mind. However, as time passed the meowing not only began again but gradually increased in pitch and volume.
My Voyager Cat Crew
April 2020 After my dear old dog and cat died from illness in late winter, I decided that I wouldn't go looking for a pet. Instead, I would simply wait and see what happenstance would bring me. I decided on certain rules. My pet would need to be under 30 lbs so that I could lift him/her easily in a medical emergency. I would probably have a cat so any dog I might adopt must get along well with small animals.

The Voyager and the Demi god
In 2016 I was at work when a manager pulled me aside to ask if I was doing alright. I was reluctant to admit how badly my mental health was suffering, and how hard it had become to maintain the facade that I was operating at 100% all of the time. But she could tell, and so could my coworkers. At the time I was living and working in Central Florida, in a place where people come from all over the world to visit. I was truly living everyone else’s dream, and people I knew who didn’t work with me never missed an opportunity to tell me so, meanwhile behind the scenes, my own life felt like a nightmare. This brought on an immense sense of guilt and shame, as though because of my situation, I wasn’t allowed to feel depressed, or because of the nature of my job, I shouldn’t experience anxiety. By the end of our conversation, I was being driven by two large police officers to a mental health facility nearby for a mandatory 5 day observation where I took part in group and individual therapy, in a safe and understanding environment.

Ringu & JuOn
Although the sub title of this story sounds bad it is, none the less, true. However, the circumstances will explain the reasons for the kitten napping of my boys. Now I know this is not your typical adoption story, but I thought it was relevant as it was still the rescue of pet’s in need.
