That I need in this lifetime

From my cat

When you are tired

Curl up in the sun and sleep

If you are hungry

Eat

But only until you are full

If you are in a playful mood

Play

If you love someone

Show them

Rub up against them

As often as you can

If you have something to say

Speak

If you have business to do

Do it

If you are thirsty

Drink

(Just don’t use the paint water glass

In the studio of your mistress)

But most importantly I learned

Not to think of my next 8 lives

But just to live fully in this one

Purr as often as it seems natural

And watch out for cars and things

That are bigger than you

ONCE UPON A TIME TWO CATS................

There was a couple in Scotland who had just moved into an old castle. It wasn't long before they decided to empty out the wine cellar. They found a large barrel of brandy. They tried moving it and even got a few friends to help, but they couldn't budge it. In the end, they decided to have a housewarming party and give glasses of brandy out to empty the barrel and make it easier to move. A few days after the party, they went into the cellar and tried to move the barrel again. It still wouldn't move. The husband got his saw in order to cut it into smaller pieces and they cut off the top of the barrel. Inside was a dead body and they had drank the brandy that had preserved it.
