The equilibrium of Earthly energies (Cat Wisdom)

Well, that’s cat logic for you, Sir Winston!

We’re not purrrfect creatures, but we’re quite switched on to our surroundings and the course our environment is set upon.

I always knew that in the long run, the human race would sort itself out.

Our green environment never has a problem with climate change – it just adapts to change; it’s the poor human beings again, who have to suffer from what’s happening.

Well, the poor human beings seem to have catalysed the whole process – and they are still carrying on with the process. I thought human beings were supposed to be intelligent creatures. At least that’s what I heard on the grapevine.

It all has something to do with energy Mr Midnight.

Oh, I’m aware of the energy Sir Winston.

Just take a look at all those political, so-called “World Leaders”. They haven’t a clue, have they? They are mostly driven by fear and greed, and for the love of power. Ethics and genuine solutions to our world problems do not seem to genuinely be on a politicians radar.

Ah yes, the old patriarchal stance of yesteryear. We don’t need to worry too much Sir Winston because their “sort” is dying out. Obviously, they will not die out in our lifetime but still, such egoistical systems will eventually die out. The universe has all the time in the world.

The yin and yang of life, eh Mr Midnight.

The energies of such egoistical, populist, disrespectful, autocratic, “rulers” and their followers cannot last because their ignorance will become balanced by humanistic values and good properties.

I suppose it has something to do with the equilibrium of the universe.

Everything conceivable is available in a perfect universe – good properties, as well as negative properties.

Now that many Western walks of life appear to have become dominated by disrespect for one another and have adapted populist attitudes, egoistical stances and an ignorance for one’s own activities, at the same time, there are also many who now shake the foundations of such establishments by demonstrating the need for more compassion, empathy and respect for our societies.

Energies keep their equilibrium and will always counterbalance each other.

Even though our world is experiencing rapid, negative change at the moment, it is also quite exciting because, at the end of the day, all will become balanced and in order again.

It looks like it’s going to be a very long day then Sir Winston. 🙂

It’s all in the moment

Hi daddy! What’s going off?

author-Avatar I have decided to try and get a little further with building my family tree, Mr Midnight.

Isn’t that one of those flashy green things which move about when the air angels touch them in the green kingdom? You wouldn’t get one of those things in this little room, daddy.

You humans are sometimes baffling.

I don’t think daddy means a real tree, Mr Mids. I think he’s planning to build a tree on paper.

author-Avatar Well, not exactly, Sir Winston. You were correct in your assumption that I am building a tree on paper, but because you are a cat, it is not a tree which you will know much about.

Basically, a family tree is a kind of chart showing all past members of a family from their descent in history.

So you don’t have to water it then?

author-Avatar If you did, you would spoil it, Mr Midnight.

In a way I suspect that I am a little bit like you two cats – inquisitive. I am trying to find out where my anscetors, or past members of my family, come from, purely out of inquisitiveness.

Well, that seems like a complete waste of time to me, daddy. The good people are not here anymore. What a strange way to pass the time.

Well, I find it most interesting.

You would, Sir Winston. You are somewhat of a fuddy duddy, aren’t you.

How far have you managed to get, daddy? I’d like to know.

author-Avatar Up until now, among many others, I have managed to find a Morton Clarke who was born in England in 1420. That’s quite a long time ago. That’s 21 generations ago.

We cats do not know what generations are, daddy. Is a generation something to do with your “time” measurement thingy? That chappie you mentioned appears to be an old gent.

author-Avatar Generations are different age gaps relating to our ancestors. Mr Clarke would be 600 years old if he still lived.

You human beings do like living in the past. Pussycats enjoy living in the moment because it is in the moment where life happens.

Sir Winston is correct, daddy. It’s the moment which matters. Not the past. We pussies can’t remember a thing about our past and we don’t need a tree thingamabob to try and remember. Still, if it gives you pleasure.

By the way, Mr Dog next door obviously still needs a tree, but obviously, for other reasons. 😉

Doggies could learn a thing or two from us pussycats!

Appreciation

What have you got there Sir Winston? You look as though you need a little help.

Sir Winston placed the small twig he was holding in his mouth onto the grass and replied:-

I´ve just found this small woody thing underneath the hedge. It was among others but this is the only one I could comfortably fit in my mouth.

For a moment I thought you had turned into a dog Sir W. Doggies like carrying long woody things in their mouth. Whatever were you thinking?

It smelled so beautiful; you know, so fresh and somehow, so appealing. It is part of our kingdom and I thought it would be nice to have it near me for a while. Our kingdom is so wonderful!

I can understand your fascination with our little kingdom Sir W. but it is not very cat-like to carry long, woody things around in your mouth.

And who makes the rules in our kingdom?

We do. Well, daddy does a good job of shaping our kingdom for us so I suppose he makes some rules as well, but we are free to do what we like and roam wherever we want within our beautiful, green kingdom.

I was just appreciating how nice it is to live on this beautiful planet. The wooden, sticky things help remind me of how lucky I am to be able to live here.

I love the air angels deep within my body. When I breathe deep they send energy and rejuvenate my soul. The air angels are so majestic. One has to appreciate them, doesn’t one?

I suspect that not all creatures of our planet are as lucky as ourselves. I really do appreciate my life and all that surrounds me, even though sometimes, life appears difficult. It makes me feel so happy to be a part of this world.

And when we are happy, we purr positively, which attracts good things to our soul. Appreciation is indeed, a wonderful attribute and certainly helps us cats get through life that much easier.

Do you think human beings are so appreciative of their present life situations Mr Midnight?

From what I’ve seen on that picture box in the corner of the comfy room, the human world appears to be in turmoil and dissatisfaction at the moment.

Speaking as a cat, I believe that even when things appear to not go right in our lives, appreciating what we still have will help change the energies for a better situation. Even though we may be in dire straits, appreciating the positive things that still surrounds us will help alleviate our negative situation to a certain degree. Of course, I am only a pussy cat and therefore, sometimes naive.

Well, I`m just happy that I live here with you and daddy and am able to enjoy my life in our small kingdom.

Life really is truly remarkable if we allow it.

Hope to see you all next month. Kind regards from Sir Winston.

And big meows from small Mr Midnight!

Boys! Dinner is ready. Come and get it.

Yummy Yummy Yum!!!!!

Is it so serious?

Sir Winston, why do you think the older humans have to take life so serious?

Perhaps because they believe that as they get older, they must act out there role as adults in a more serious manner, otherwise they will not be accepted properly in their societies.

But, such a notion is just codswallop Sir Winston. Fancy believing in such a way. No wonder humans get their illnesses later on in life.

We cats, on the other paw, also get slower as we get older, but most of us still keep our playfulness and inquisitiveness in tact.

It is rather sad, isn’t it. Still, if believing in such a way makes them happy.

But it doesn’t, does it. Most of the poor dears appear frightened to death in life as they get older. They wouldn’t admit to such a fact, but after my observations, they do make me feel sorry for them.

Life always poses us with difficulties but in my opinion, many problems in life can be better tackled when one takes life not too seriously.

I mean, take the other day for instance. There I was, sitting on the porch, trying to turn over my food bowl which had somehow, turned upside down, when eventually, a nice gentleman in a yellow coat came to the door and sorted my food bowl out for me. He informed me that the air angels must have whipped it over. I was starving and had been trying for ages to alleviate the problem.

It was very windy last week.

Although I had been trying to nudge it back over for a very long time, I kept my calm and thought of the escapade as being a game where I had to deactivate the little bomb before it exploded my bowl to bits. It was a great adventure and I even got to know a nice gentleman in a yellow coat.

That must have been the postman delivering daddy’s bills. He’s a very friendly chap towards us cats. He obviously likes us.

In a way, he’s also like a cat.

How`d you mean, Mr Midnight?

Well, he’s out in all wind and weather and he never complains. He just seems to take the day as it comes – a bit like us pussycats.

You wouldn’t see a pussycat fretting about what’s going to happen next week, next month, or whenever, would you? We live in the moment and to a certain extent, the postman also lives in the moment. He seems to take things as they come.

That is, until he gets home. Then he most probably behaves like all the other adult humans. But that’s another story.

In the children’s book, “The Small Prince”, it states that “All great people were once children – but few can remember.”

What a wonderful saying.

Take life more playfully and not too seriously. Things are not always as bad as we make them out to be.

Take care dear reader.

Christmas Greetings!

The both of us wish you folks out there a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We hope you are all keeping fine and that you had a great year (your virus thingy not included).

Unfortunately, our daddy had a difficult year, hence the lapse of our presence in the internet, but we will try to help him to keep our blog on the move in the coming year.

Thank you for your patience and once again, have a purrfect 2022 !

Bye for now, from Mr MIdnight, Sir Winston and our daddy. 🙂

Growth – Is it necessary?

Daddy, why is everyone always talking about growth these days?

I didn`t think they were Mr Midnight. It never really occurred to me but thinking about it, I think you must be right.

When reading the newspaper, watching television or dabbling about on the internet, one notices quite a fascination for all things related to growth.

But always wanting to grow is not normal is it?

I suppose you´re right Sir Winston. We human beings seem to have fashioned the art of always wanting (and needing) to grow.

Well, I don´t think you humans have “fashioned the art” of growth at all daddy. Just look at the state the world is in at the moment. Your growth fascinations seem to be wrecking the planet at a considerable rate.

We pussycats like to grow as well as you human beings, but there also has to be times of consolidation and stagnation. Otherwise things are going to get out of paw.

I agree with you. We do seem to have lost our way a little as regards living in a balanced environment. I suppose a lot has to do with the fact that the individual does not seem to believe that their actions also play a small part of the development of society and our planet. We all conveniently, seem to disassociate ourselves from the very thought of our behaviour also having an effect on our societies and environment.

I suppose it´s a human thing daddy, but such an approach does appear rather radical, especially as the human race appears to place so much emphasis on believing that it is superior to all other beings.

If the worlds citizens carry on pushing their figures for more growth year after year then our worlds resources are not going to be able to cope with such behaviour much longer. The only growth I like is spiritual growth.

The planet seems to have already started to “go on strike”. It´s no wonder really. Perhaps planet Earth is learning something from you human beings as well. Is there a message to be learned?

Many of us human beings love playing the victim of society (especially when our chips are down) but if we think about what we already have accomplished, most of us could be quite satisfied, at least those living in our part of the world.

You all just have to get your thinking caps on and get the planet in a better state. One often talks about fairness and how important it is to leave the planet in a better state for your children but to be honest, I don´t think anyone really gives a monkeys about such a notion. Behavioural patterns dictate a different stance to life.

Oh well, at least there is something other than Corona to occupy the mind – if anyone has the time at least.

Meow, meow from me.

Purr, purr from me

And kind regards from myself. 🙂

Cat musings about Covid19

I was talking to Ivan the Russian Blue yesterday Sir Winston, and he informed me that the humans are still struggling with their vaccination programs. Their virus thingummy seems to have them all under control, the poor dears.

Well, Suzy the Siamese told me that she had heard in her native part of the woods, a place they call Asia, I believe, that they had things under control as regards their virus. I think their Chinese people invented a vaccine to help the poor humans.

Ivan said that his native people had also invented a vaccine which they have named ‘Sputnik V`.

I am not sure what a ‘Sputnik’ is but I’m sure Ivan knows what he’s talking about.

I was under the impression that a ‘Sputnik` was some kind of satellite. It must have been difficult creating such a thing to put into the bodies of humans.

I don’t know what a Sputnik is either, Sir Winston. Human beings do have fancy names for their things, don`t they.

Perhaps you should ask Ivan if he knows what a Sputnik is. After all, initially, he does come from that part of the world.

Can you remember Karen, the British Shorthair cat, Sir Winston?

Oh yes, I know her. What is she up to these days? She`s a great laugh.

I met her as I was creeping around the back of the next-door neighbours shed a couple of nights ago. After a general chit chat, we also got onto the subject of Covid19.

Well, you can’t go about your daily routine these days without hearing something about Corona. I think the humans have banished all other illnesses and we only have one illness left these days.

You’re right there Sir W. Anyway, Karen told me that in her country, the UK and Sweden had invented Astra Zeneca to help the poor humans. What’s an Astra? What’s a Zeneca?

How about asking Marius the Norwegian Forest cat who lives two streets away? He’s not from Sweden but Norway I believe, is near enough. Perhaps he knows.

I don’t see him very often because he`s always in the forest. I’m afraid of the forest. It’s too spooky for my liking.

I had heard on the grapevine that Astra deviates from the Latin word ‘Astrum` , which means star, and that Zeneca means ‘one from the stars’. I think they called it that because their Corona, as the name suggests, is shaped like a star or crown. I could be wrong though. You know how vague things are on the grapevine.

It’s amazing that the humans can see the Coronavirus thingy. I thought we cats had good eyesight but the humans must see much more clearly than we cats. By the way, I would much prefer a bowl of milk to a grapevine, Sir Winston.

Bob, the American Shorthair and Persian Afra said that there was also a vaccine called Moderna on the market. It seems to be working quite well. I met them both last week as I was playing with the leaves in the school garden over the road. They also mentioned substances called BioNthech-Pfizer and Johnson& Johnson.

Those two are very knowledgeable. They are always very well informed.

I must say, the humans seem to be getting their act together. Personally, I would be thankful when I am not inundated with Corona news every day. It’s serious stuff, but life still has to go on as normal as possible – at least for pussycats. 🙂

Go your own way!

A small path ran up to the main entrance to Mr Midnight’s and Sir Winston’s place of abode. Across the road directly opposite, large boulders had been placed in a large half-circle in which to help make the parking bay at the school look a little nicer.

In warm weather, Mr. Midnight loved to lay on top of the boulders, especially the ones directly opposite his house because he had a great vantage point of what was happening around where he lived. From his vantage point, Mr Midnight could see Sir Winston having what looked like a nap on the porch entrance steps.

Sir Winston must have had some inclination that Mr. Midnight was watching him because he suddenly raised himself from his comfy sitting position on the porch, stretched himself and wandered over towards Mr. Midnight.

I wonder what Mr. Midnight’s thinking? I´ll go over and find out.

——————————————

Sir Winston sprang down the steps, trotted over the garden in a zig-zag fashion, darted behind the garden shed, scurried under the hole in the hedge, raced across the road and after having sniffed around some of the parked cars, he clambered up the slight hill and sat on the boulder next to Mr. Midnight.

——————————————-

You took your time didn’t you?

Well, I have all the time in the world. I only came over to find out what you were up to.

Nothing much. I´m having a lazy day. I was just observing the occasional stranger passing through my territory.

Did you know that Mr. Dog always cuts across the garden when he wishes to visit our house? He doesn’t use the pathway up to the door. I don´t know what his master thinks about it all. It’s terribly bad manners you know.

I’ve also noticed that you tend to take a purrrculiar path when you leave and enter the house. Do you always nip behind the shed with which to get to the main doorway of our house? It seems a lot of messing about. I would have thought you would have taken the easiest path.

I like going that way. Nobody else goes that way.

I always prefurrr to take what seems to be the lightest path in life – you know, the most direct path.

I’ve observed that Mrs. Squirrel often goes about things from above. She loves going up and down those tall, greeny, bendy things all day. She must have loads of energy. We cats tend to like lazing all day instead.

Yes, she climbs the tree and runs along the guttering to reach the house door. What a funny creature.

Look! There´s the yellow man. Which path will he take?

That´s a postman Mr. Midnight. They´re always in a hurry.

Look. He´s carrying that large parcel and look! He´s making a short cut by crossing daddy´s green stuff and approaching the house from the other side.

I think it´s because of his heavy load. Daddy is always purchasing postage stamp parcels from his auctions. Poor postman. You have to feel sorry for him don´t you?

The thing I like about our observations is that everyone seems to go about things differently and I must say, that´s quite unusual for human beings. They don´t really believe in individualism like us cats because they tend to copy one another most of the time.

Well I can´t understand why you take the paths in life you sometimes take Sir Winston but I must say that it is most important for “beings” to go their own way in life.

If you go your own way you will be more balanced and a happier “being”. So watch out humans. Get your act together and start believing in yourselves and do what YOU find to be true for yourself.

Go your own way!

Trying to explain Covid19 to cats. :)

Is that Corona thingamabob also dangerous for us Cats daddy?

I don’t believe anyone really knows Mr Midnight. To the best of my knowledge, pussycats, as is the case with all animals, can also transmit Covid19.

What’s Covid19, daddy? You human beings love fancy names. We cats don’t understand what a Covid19 or Corona is.

We do not intend to confuse you animals, Sir Winston. There are so many different types of illness on our planet that as a human, one must categorize viruses into different types with which to better understand how they work.

Covid19 sounds a bit daft, daddy. I am aware that it is not a very nice thing, but why don’t they call it something a little nicer. Covid19, I mean, really, what a horrible name for something.

The ´Co´, in Covid, means ´Corona´.

And what is Corona when it is at home?

I believe ´Corona´is derived from the Latin word corona, meaninig crown or wreath. The virus itself looks like a spiky ball with crown like thorns on its surface.

The ´Vi´in the word ´Covid´stems from the word `virus´, and the ´d´ from the word ´disease´. The disease was formerly known as ´2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The number 19 is simply the year in which the virus officially became active (2019).

That’s a clever way of labelling something. You humans are so clever. I hope you sort your virus thingy out soon because otherwise, people will no doubt, start going mad.

Please be careful people and look after yourselves.

Mr Midnight and myself hope you all take the present situation seriously so that you can all start getting back to more of a normal lifestyle again. We cats know how much you humans suffer at the moment.

Take care.

Seasonal greetings from the cats

Hello everybody. I just wanted to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a great New Year 2021!

The same from me as well, especially after you humans having had such a rotten 2020 what with your virus thingy and everything.

Don’t mention the virus thing, Sir Winston. The poor human beings have had a lot on their plates this last year and now they want to at least, try and enjoy their Christmas do.

I didn’t mean to be rude or anything. I am just thankful that I don’t have to wear one of those funny-looking mouth protectors. I hope the poor humans look after themselves as best they can and that they can at least switch off a little bit at Christmas time. I like Christmas time. Daddy makes the house look really nice. 🙂

I must say, if the human Governments made us cats have to wear those things as well then the world would really be in a mess. Who’s ever seen a cat wearing such a device. If it helps the humans save lives then it’s a good thing, and I suppose if we cats could also contribute to saving human lives, we naturally, would do so by wearing a mask thing.

I am just so thankful that the virus and those Government people leave us cats alone. The humans will sort their problem out.

I hope they can enjoy Christmas as much as we usually do.

Here’s a picture from some of our friends to help you humans cheer up a bit.

They do look an odd bunch, don’t they?

Sir Winston and myself wish all of you a very Happy Christmas and a positive, fantastic 2021.

And Mr Midnight and I would also like to once again, thank all of you who have occasionally, visited our blog. We really do appreciate your short stay at our place.

ALL THE VERY BEST AND PLEASE, STAY SAFE ! 🙂 🙂 🙂
