Pouncing Cat – Slow motion

    This one is by Whiskas. It really brought me into the mind of a cat – seen through the cat’s eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A9Dqdya6_w This cat decided to go after the birds on a television: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lghm1iqcXTg And here’s a vet’s perspective on… Read More »Pouncing Cat – Slow motion

    Mid-week, Mid-work

      Monday has one kind of feeling, Friday another, at least for me, since I work a traditional five-day week. Thursday is getting close to Friday, Tuesday is the day after I get caught up on whatever came in over the… Read More »Mid-week, Mid-work

      Leaping Cats

        This video is a slow-motion take on a cat leaping upwards (described as more than seven times the length of her tail). My dear cat, now deceased, would leap from the floor to the top of the refrigerator with no… Read More »Leaping Cats

        Languages of Appreciation

          I was talking with some friends about giving gifts versus experiences and thought about the different things that matter to people. The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace: Empowering Organizations by Encouraging People is a book talking about what… Read More »Languages of Appreciation

          Actual Cat Race

            I came upon this video – an actual cat race over a racecourse set up in a house. Truly amazing to see both cats racing though rooms and over jumps. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=cat+races&docid=603534327785812576&mid=8561480C49680F2043238561480C49680F204323&view=detail&FORM=VIRE I wonder how much time was spent training the… Read More »Actual Cat Race

            The Unexpected Twist

              I’m watching a Briish television series and thinking part of the joy of British television is the different perspective on life compared to American television. The actors aren’t as beautiful or handsome, there’s a sense of the absurd, and I… Read More »The Unexpected Twist

              Racing Cat!

                I found this cat video today. This cat should be a lazy cat, and indoors she is, but outdoors she turns into a speedracer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RK4z_INJkg People can surprise you that way, too. They’re smart or funny or athletic when they… Read More »Racing Cat!

                Slipping Away

                  Today the sidewalks turned slippery as the temperature dropped. The walks looked clear, but occasionally a step would skid sideways. I’d flail to keep myself upright and walk carefully for awhile until my footing stayed solid and the walk looked… Read More »Slipping Away
