Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories

23 January 2015 - I don't buy the equating of messy office to messy mind.  I am certain that there are examples of such, but a few data points do not make a proof.  In my particular case, I ascribe the managed chaos to having busy peeps.  The universe favors disorganization, so a tidy space is "unnatural"...by that I mean one has to continually work to keep it that way.  And how would you like to spend your allotted time, given you don't have nine lives in which to cram it all in?  It's your choice.

22 January 2015 - The hands of my shorter peep come highly recommended.  They give super belly rubs and spine realignments, but the thing that makes my eyes roll back in the head are the chin chucks.  The area around my nose and mouth require more finesse than the claws can manage, so she is truly sent by Bastet.  If you have ever experienced an itch in a spot that you can't reach, then you know firsthand the bliss of an assist.  No lottery scratch off has better returns.

19 January 2015 - Which came first?  the need to tongue-wash one's lower back, or the ability to do so.  I don't know if "contortionist" is apt, but we cats definitely have supple spines... perhaps since our four-footedness doesn't give gravity the opportunity to fuse the vertebrae together.  A column of sedimentary rock, hardened over time by the weight above pressing down, is not what one wants for a spine.  Most of the time we felines think nothing of being able to form a corkscrew with our bodies, and focus instead on what we can't do...like use a can-opener.  That would be something to remark upon.

18 January 2015 - I have a toy mouse that lives in the change jar at the foot of the bed.  Ninety-nine percent of the time I ignore his presence:  I rarely am in the mood to "play" and Meep's interest factor peaked long ago.  But sometimes the urge hits me to retrieve him from the nickels and dimes, give him a toss...and then usually the urge has been satisfied.  Occasionally the first thing that I pull out of the jar is a coin, and that makes a very loud clatter on the table top when I drop it...which is a bonus side-effect.  Obviously I have learned how to entertain myself.

17 January 2015 - It is said of the older version of my shorter peep that she can look at a stick until it moves.  I doubt that any peep's sensory abilities can top a cat's, so I am trying the experiment.  Residing in a fairly tidy domicile, I was unable to locate a stick, so I am testing my psychokinetic abilities on this ink pen.  Prior to the taking of this photograph I am certain that I witnessed motion, but the scientific method rightly requires replication... so here I am, deep into concentration.  Of course it is also said that watching an experiment changes the outcome...which essentially nixes the possibility of a corroborating picture.  You will just have to trust my findings.

16 January 2015 -  Two heats are better than one for staying warm these chilly mornings, and for that I am grateful to have a peep lap in which to curl.  However, since my everyday body temperature is higher than hers (101.5 versus 98.6), I should point out that she benefits more than I in this arrangement.  Yet big-hearted fellow that I am, here I sit, content to give more than receive.

15 January 2015 - I finally seem to be back in top form, after a malaise that I doubt even registered with the peeps.  One can forget how wonderful it is to be in good health, until one is laid low.  I spent the majority of my time sleeping, all physical energies channelled to getting better.  A heating pad did keep my bed very hospitable...whatever I had certainly didn't include a fever.  If I could only remember if it was white, green, or brown-striped, I would swear on my ninth life to never eat it again.
