Day of Saturn ~ Saturday is about hard work and self-discipline. On “Caturday” I focus on animal caretaking, most specifically cats. And with Saturn representing the devil, all cat-lovers can agree that cats sure fit into that description.
My two cats (Venus & Luna) have put together a list of their greatest pet peeves. They said that all cats will relate, and that the humans need to be rightfully educated about all the horrible things they have to put up with. 1. When you leave for work How dare you leave me at [...]
Luna gets spayed! On Wednesday, I took Luna to get spayed. She's recovering well but it was a stressful journey! Luna is eight months now. Early November, she went into her first heat cycle. Now people have different opinions as to when a cat should get spayed or neutered -- some say immediately, at only [...]
Cats are one of the best animals you can own as a pet. If you disagree, the following reasons will have you convinced! 1. They are adorable – Everyone can agree that cats are cute. Just imagine a litter of kittens in a basket… Awww! 2. They’re crazy – Cats do the weirdest things sometimes, and that’s [...]
Just like humans, water is absolutely vital and necessary for cats to maintain good health. And just like us, cats usually don't drink enough water. They confuse thirst for hunger, and will meow at you for food, when what they really need is some quality H2O! For us, we can force ourselves to drink more [...]
We are divine human beings -- but we are also animals. Wildness is something that humans have been conditioned to suppress for centuries, for thousands of years. It doesn't matter how smart we are, how complex our tools are, how spiritual some may be -- we will always be part animal. For some silly reason, [...]
Nepeta cataria, most commonly known as "catnip" is a plant that causes psychoactive reactions in cats. Owners love giving their cats catnip order to stimulate play. After sniffing or consuming catnip, cats will get high and display silly behavior such as rolling around, vocalizing, rubbing their heads, and becoming more excitable. Catnip turns most adults [...]
There has been an addition to my family -- a new kitten! I named her Luna after the Roman moon goddess and also the Latin word for "moon." Her story... I adopted Luna through my sister's friend's parents. They had a black stray who would come around and they would feed her. They thought she [...]
I have found that my depression has significantly decreased since becoming a nun. In my old life, I was very depressed. I was completely absorbed in my own pain. My new life forces me to look at the big picture, and focus on other people's pain, especially those less fortunate. I've been doing a lot [...]
Today, I'm taking a break from Caturday and making it Saturdog. I'm sorry, cats. Dogs are thought to be descended from wolves, according to scientific evidence. The modern wolf is completely distinct from the modern dog, suggesting their common ancestor must have died out thousands of years ago. Dogs are omnivores, meaning their diet comes [...]
It's incredibly frustrating to go out to the pet store and spend a ton of money on a fancy cat bed -- and then your cat refuses to use it! Cats are super picky animals: when it comes to food, people, other cats, their toys, and ah yes... their bed. They are total perfectionists... A [...]
