Happy Caturday: orange cats slept most of the day.

I have noticed that my orange cats seemed to sleep much longer during during the day. Perhaps, as they got older , these cats needed more sleep. But as people got older, they seemed to require less sleep. I used to need six to seven houre sleep but these days I could do with four to five hours’ sleep only. So, I wondered why my cats slept much longer than before.

I have also noticed that my cats have become older in their physical look and actions. This reminded me of thr impermanence in all things. I still remembered how sad I felt when meeting my parents after years of living abroad. They seemed suddenly much older than the last time i saw them at the airport. Looking at much older parents made me think about the futute eventually of the time of departure from this dimension. I was sad to realise that my loved ones wouldn’t stay with me forever.

So, the thought of having to let my cats departing from this world troubled my heart deeply. The loss of my two cats from stray dogs’ attack hurt my feeling deeply and I was sad for almost nine months. The sufferings lasted longer than losing my relatives. I was reminded that my cats wouldn’t live with me forever as cats usually lived for about fifteen years. So, I had to give my cats lots of loving cate and look after them as best as I could.

This year I could feel myself getting older in terms of body aches and stiffness. I had always taken for granted that I was always mych more flexible and agile than other people. I used to learn Tai Chi and yoga, so my body could stay younger and be more flexible than others. Taking herbal supplements has also helped with detoxing the body. Perhaps I had to start taking CDS (or the universal antidote) everyday and I should give some smaller doses to my cats three times a week. I had read reports how elderly cats and dogs became more alert and active after taking this for treatment of their illnesses.

I used to take this stuff everyday to keep me healthy during the covid phase. Nowadays I took CDS to fight off flu and stomachache. My cats would get this treatment whenever they had fever or came down with a bad flu. It worked wonders for me and my cats so far. Even my garden and her neighbour requested some when they had bad allergies and sickness.

The bigger orange cat (Joan) still preferred to sleep by himself on my bed. His sister, Kwan, liked to sleep in her basket on the table. They certainly have changed a lot physically as they were ni longer small kittens. Their younger days brought me a lot of good fun and laughter. Now they taught me to be contemplative and appreciate the silent joy of life. I was glad that the two siblings still maintained close relationship.

Kwan adored her big brother and would groom him from time to time. Kwan would allow her brother to eat her food. They could share the same food bowl but I preferred to let them have separate food bowls. I loved to watch them eating together and sitting next to each other. Having orange cats made me a much better person who could empathise with animals’ feelings. They taught me that duration of life was quite short and we should try to find happy moments everyday. My cats liked to sit quietly and watch me doing my walking meditation in the yard at night. So, orange cats have become spiritual cats too!

Wishing you peace, good health and prosperity.

Stay strong and cheerful.
