The season to adopt a cat is here.This was my first ezine article I submitted and given expert author status. How cool is that? It’s a great Christmas gift!
My cats Jack and Joshua are very happy and pleased I’m devoting time in my blogs to their furry comrades. Here are my angel kitties and my ezine article following it.

How about giving a gift that keeps on giving and giving love? That would be adopting a cat at your local animal shelter. There are many reasons why this would be a great gift for a young family member.
It’s that time of the year for giving. Why not give a present that will give and give longer than the energizer bunny. Giving the gift of adopting a cat for a young family member is truly a gift of love. The stores are full of toys, clothes, jewelry, perfume, gift cards etc. but not furry, kitties full for fun and endless entertainment. You need to go to a local animal shelter and pick out a special cat.
My suggestion is to take your child with you and have them pick out their new pet and companion. Explain how they need to treat the cat with love and attention, as they would expect to be treated. This can be a great learning experience in responsibility and caring for something other than themselves. They need to be sure to feed and give their new kitty, food and fresh water daily. They don’t need a bath since they clean themselves and the need to stay in the house. If you have fish or birds keep them out of that room and also away from plants that can be poisonous and make them sick. Get an identification tag for your cat just in case they get out of the house and get lost. This tag can be on an elastic collar with pertinent information on you and your cat. Most shelters will have spayed or neutered your cat. Visiting the veterinarian once a year to get shots and examinations will provide your cat with a healthy, long life. When you visit the shelter, look at all the cats and have the shelter helper bring the cat out for you to interact. See how alert and playful they are. It may take awhile to make a decision and the best thing that can happen is to consider TWO cats not just one. I have two cats and they are so content and happy to be together. It gives me peace of mind knowing when I’m gone they have each other.
The season is now, so I hope you take the time and make the trip and rescue ONE of God’s little treasures or TWO. You’ll be glad you did when you receive all that kitty love back.
Obama was on Dave Letterman last night talking about the lost of 750,000 jobs a month when he took office. He says over the next year things will be better than before.
Obama also spoke about 30 millionpeople are out of health insurance. Health care went up 130% last year and employers are looking to drop insurance along with insurance companies wanting to drop those who are too sick and keeping the healthy ones to keep costs down.
When people get sick, they can loose their homes and choose not to go to the hospital to avoid the high costs.
Dave Letterman said when he gets sick he visits the CBS nurse. President Obama laughed at that and said I’m sure she’s interesting.
The problem is we need to take care of ourselves daily with good eating and health habits.
P.S. I’m taking care of myself using just a couple of changes to my eating times.
P.S.S. I currently don’t have health insurance which I had for 61 year. My insurance is eating well and nourishing my body with Zrii and Xocai chocolate.
In the meantime, create a wonderful day for yourself.
Months back I started a blog tillythehealingcat@wordpress.com where you can read Tilly’s story.
The blog took the effort of two people living in different parts of the county to scan and produce her page. I wrote the copy but didn’t do the actual posting.
I love to write and tell stories, so at first I was very excited then lost interest running into difficulties understanding Wordpress.
As easy as it appears to post, only one post and a few comments from the same person (one who worked on it), I had a Wordpress block not a writer’s block. I was encouraged to start blogging anything and just learn how to navigate Wordpress.
When Tilly came into my life she was like a miracle for me. She had the whitest coat and most psychedelic eyes and was so sweet and gentle. She was the best thing that happened to me.
Now, another incredible miracle is unfolding. It’s not quite as dramatic as when Mother Mary appeared in Fatima, but I’ve been invited to be part of a huge endeavor and adventure that will lead to fullfillment beyond my dreams which you can be part of as well.
And on top of everything else wonderful, it includes learning about the world of social media, how to really write a great blog, understanding social networks, setting up great profiles etc. and learning more than I ever hoped for in my life.
So if you have any blogging advise or tips for me, please let me know.
All I can say is this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to grow and experience who I really am and in the meantime help others in the world.
If you want to enjoy your life as a “Breath of Fresh Air,” go to scottmagers.com and view Herb Tanzer Having it all. I did and it’s given me a new way of living my life.
There’s a lot more to this adventure I can share at a later time.
How great is that? I even dream about it at night.
So please take time to read Who Laura is? and follow me on my journey. You’ll learn what I’m exploring and possibly share the path with me. I love animals and the creatures, Jack and Joshua, God entrusted to me.
P.S. Enjoy your pets and your loved ones.
P.S.S. We have a short time here on earth and I hope part of your journey is exploring new beginnings with my blog.
In the meantime, create a wonderful day for yourself.
