lessons my cat has taught me

I wrote on an earlier post about adopting my cat Missy, and how wonderful she is. When I figure out how to create a link to that post I will put one in. In the mean time you can look at the previous post titled Missy.
Anyway here is a list of the things so far that little Missy has taught me
1. Find some simple pleasures in life. Yesterday she was laying in my bed soaking up the sunshine. It reminded my of taking time out to just be. Here was my little cat in big bed simply enjoying the sun. There is defiantly something therapeutic about soaking up some rays.

2. Sometime you have to make your own fun. Missy is an inside cat, so she doesn't have the luxury of exploring the street as some other cats do. that being said she wont end up like the cat that use to live next door, with a tyre print on it's back. Quite often I get home and consider the possibility that maybe I have broken into. Alas Missy has just been playing. Her toys are spread all over the house. Cushions are everywhere, and her scratching post is tipped over and preventing me from opening the door properly. I love watching her create her own little games with her toys. So lesson, if you can't get to the fun, create your own

3. Sometimes when you want something you have to get a little pushy. There are many times when I am reading a paper or a book on the couch, and Missy decides that is cuddle time. She simply just negotiates herself between me and whatever I am reading and demands the attention. If you want something bad enough sometimes you just need to remove the obstacles, or at least find a way around them.
Little miss demanding attention!
I have given serious thought to starting a blog about the life lessons Missy has taught me. Let me know what you think
