Renewal

Does the world sometimes seem overwhelming? Do you feel like you haven't got a single purr left in you? All stressed out and no one to swat? Well, if you're running on empty yourself, you don't have much to give to others! We all have different ways of "recharging our batteries." Here are ways some of our members help themselves (and their humans). Maybe you'll find something that works for you.

When I think that I need a little time to myself, I like to retire to my little canopy bed that meowmie put under the desk, she also gave me a basket of my favorite toys, my rug that my Sweetie gave me and my favorite Sasauge toy. No one bothers me (too much) when I go to my private space. No one except maybe SassyJazmine, and she tries to crawl in with me, or Right who wants to box with me, or Left who will want the bed just because I am in there. But this is my favorite "time-out" spot and I always feel better after a nice little nap in my special place

How do I recharge for the spring? Well, I have heard Meowmie say something about working in the garden, pulling weeds, cutting back the roses, and doing something called fertilizing. As for me, when she opens the windows and we get to sleep there, the warm breeze and fresh air tickles my nose. The sun feels great and makes me very relaxed, so I feel rejuvenated when I come back to the catputer.

     Several times a day I go to my meowmie and climb up on her lap and have a "purring session."  I purr and she pets me and tells me how pretty I am.  She tells me stories of how she found me and brought me home, and other nice things we like remembering.  Usually my purr is so soft meowmie can't hear it but when it gets loud enough for her to actually hear, she knows I am extra happy and content.  That makes her awfully happy when she hears me purr loud enough for her to hear!  When my meowmie's grandmeowmie was living she always had at least one kitty and she also enjoyed holding her kitty and petting it and hearing it purr and meowmies grandfather used to say they were giving each other therapy, and my meowmie says that is so true.  Yes, kitties and humans do a lot for each other!

We wrote this fur our web site, Tao of Meow, in a humorous way, but it contains a lot of truth. It's called "Meditation fur Hoomins" at http://www.oocities.org/wickedtwins/ashramwidgy.html We also have some lake applets with meditations such as the one at http://www.oocities.org/wickedtwins/med3.html  that are furry good to visit. They help Meowmie a lot, and we think they will help ovfur hoomin beans, too.

And if they stroke us cats while looking at these screens, they will feel even more stress go away. Peaceful purrs, The Wicked Twins

Here is one of my favorite things to do. That is getting my belly full of Kitty Kisser Treats and then take a nice long nap on top of the computer. I am always sure that it will be nice and long, cauz meowmie is always playing around on the puter, and safe because the Brat Boyz can't pester me when meowmie is around and Jessie doesn't like the puter desk-top. There are only a few things that I really love, and I can name them on one paw. Meowmie, Kitty Kissers, Naps and Daddy Day-Late, not always in that order. Valentines Day is for lovers, and I don't have one of those, but I am thankful for my home, family and very special friends. And thank you for letting me be part of Purring Paws, sometimes a kitty just needs to purr.

This is how we recharge our batteries. We purr and sleep! mol! And we purr to meowmie. :)

When we get overwhelmed and need to recharge, we listen to music.  We know this sounds strange for kitties but we are all brought up on Elvis Presley music and Meowmie plays it every day.  We lay in the livingroom and listen to his soft voice (she plays mainly 70's  slow songs).  We think about happy things and eventually drift off to sleep all refreshed and relaxed.    Purrs,   Elvis, Sabrina, Bashful and Angel  

Taking time out and purring by myself is the best way for me to recharge.  I sit in a yoga type position and let my purr come into harmony.  I recharge, so I can face again all the purring the world needs.

 Other ways are to lay on my balcony in the beautiful sunshine in all my glory and let the sun give me strength.

 Another way is to join paws in a purr chain with my furriends.  This gives us all added strength to continue purring for the needs of our troubled world.

There are several good methods that I use to recharge my batteries.  I purrsonally feel that a sunbeam is the ultimate recharger!!  :)  It warms the body and the spirit too. I go to the front room or dining room where I can usually find a real good one, and curl up on a cushion and meditate, with my eyes tightly closed. Another great place is our upstairs bay window.  In the afternoons it is wonderfully sunny and warm up there, and there is a big dogwood tree right outside and it's a great place to bird-watch!  It'll be even better soon when the snowy white blooms appear.  I lounge in the window seat and bask, I could stay there for hours. Then, I go find Meowmie and see if I can recharge her batteries!!  I like to sit next to her in my special place on the couch or stretch out on her legs.  Meowmie and I have a special relationship, I was her first kitty and she was my midwife!!  I love my Meowmie!!

Meow Meow, This has been a furry sad month with losses. Sometimes my meowmie has a difficult time reading the purr reports, as she starts to cry and mew feels sad when Claw memfers and loved ones become ill and haf problems. To recharge, we purr, and send cards. Then we cuddle and comfort each other. Sometimes we will take a nap together. Then we can get up and feel ready to face the world again. Purring really helps, as well as support from all our furrinds and hoomans. Another way to recharge is playtime. A time set aside to play and for my mommmie to laugh. Laughter is great for recharging! One more thing we do is look out side (course mommie gets to go outside for extended periods of time..HMMMMMMMMM), and see how nature renews itself, the buds turning into flowers, the butterflies, the birdies... A good time for meditation and regrounding as mommie says.

I renew myself by laying on my cable box. The other way I renew myself is by eatting.

Laying on the kitty tree and looking out the window is the way I renew myself. The sun comes into the window where my kitty tree is at and there are lots of birds for me to watch. Also playing with my baby sister Sam help renew me. There's also nothing like a bowl of food to help renew a kitty.

Meowmie says I'm always renewed since I live my life on high speed. If I need to renew myself, a nap helps me and food cures everything.

I always get my batteries recharged when I get on Mommy's belly.  I just purr and purr and she rubs me under my chin and when stops I nudge her to do it somemore. Usually then I just cuddle in a ball and it makes me feel so comfy and safe and good about everything!  Another way I get renewed is by looking at the birdies out my window. I am real still so I don't disturb them and then my mind is quiet thinking of peaceful and happy things and when I come back to reality I am rejuvanated.

When things get really stressful here, we bug Meowmie until she goes outside and blows bubbles for us. It is so peaceful watching the bubbles shimmer and float along on the breeze. We gather around her and purr, and tell her to "put her troubles in the bubbles and let them float away." In the winter time, she has some catnip bubbles that she can blow inside for us that won't stain anything.
