S ome of the best things in Life are free. Below are a few:
A quiet place to de-stress (Rocky)
Just relaxing (Doodles)
Taking a nap with your best friend (Karma)
Having a Mommy who knows how to Love (Karma)
A good night’s sleep (Bella)
Enjoying the warmth of the sun (Prinny)
Isn’t Rocky just adorable? This picture was taken while I answering WP comments on my laptop. He is inside one of the towers, a place he goes when he does not feel well. Since this picture, I have addressed what is bothering him and you’ll be happy to hear Rocky is comfortable and free of pain. His little face looking out of that diamond shaped window got me to stop what I was doing just to be with him. Do you blame me? (smile)
Doodles. What can I say? Doodles just loves to hang like this as you see in the second photograph. I believe a lot of us could learn from him how to relax. I know I could. When I see Doodles as you see him here a smile just breaks out across my face. He is just so darn cute! You have to just Love those big, soft paws of his!
The third image is of Karma seen with his Buddy, a stuffed bear he has had since he was a kitten. When I adopted him, I saw how dejected he was and his little heart seemed to be breaking. So I ran upstairs to check my stash of stuffed animals and this pink little bear, bigger then Karma at the time when I first introduced Buddy, just jumped out at me. I brought the bear to my tiny little baby and it was Love at first sight. They have been best friends ever since.
And the afghan I put on him when he tells me his arthritis is bothering him. Nothing like being tucked in with a blankie hugging your best friend to take a nap. Ahhhh …..
The forth image of Karma you see a kitchen towel tied around his neck. Karma is slowly transiting and due to age and his medical conditions, has stopped eating. For over six months I have been feeding him by hand four times per day, every day determined that he will not starve on my watch. Karma really knows what it is like to have a Mommy that Loves him with all her Heart.
The next image is of Bella, sound asleep on her Queen pillow that sits right next to mine. Just looking at this picture makes my Heart melt. She is so beautiful she steals my breath at times. To watch her soundly sleeping in such Peace is truly a Gift Divine.
And then there is Prinny so soft and comfy laying on a red blanket just soaking up the sunshine. She was enjoying this so much at the time of this picture she didn’t even want to come down to eat breakfast. Can you blame her? She looks like she is in Cat Heaven!
I hope all of you enjoyed the glimpses of my “kids” that I captured last week. I’ve told a few people that I am thinking of making Monday my official “cat post day”. I LOVE taking pictures of these guys and I so enjoy showing you the precious faces that I am surrounded with each and every day. Yes, I am so Blessed!!!

Thank you, Jodi. My “kids” are the Center of my Life. Even though I am not able to pursue many of my Dreams, I would not trade the Love I have in my Life right now. A day shall come when my babies are no longer here, and I will have such huge holes in my Heart to fill. That is when I will be able to pursue my Dreams. 🙂 ❤

If only you knew …… LOL A lot of work goes into taking care of these cats, the endless cleaning, making sure our inventory of supplies is sufficient, standing guard when boys or some of my girls begin to fight, the disciplining, hands on healing and giving of herbs, Homeopathy, medication …. The list goes on. By the time I get to bed I don’t remember hitting the pillow some nights. Throw in there all I do for me with my photography, blog, walking, yoga, and now with my gardens. Hmmm …. Makes for a superwoman’s life. Or as my Chiropractor says, “Bionic Woman”. GRIN! I’m sure you relate! 🙂

Thank you!!! These are some of the special needs cats we take care of and LOVE LOVE LOVE. They look so healthy you would never know there is anything wrong with them. We make sure they get the best nutrition, lots of LOVE, treated with as natural means as possible to address their problems, and no vaccines. There is a side to me that turns into a Mama Bear if anyone even comes near my babies with vaccines. Oh the stories I could tell. LOL ❤

This post was a way to de- stress rather. You can just stare at those pictures in silence, they give such a satisfying and peaceful vibe. Thank you for sharing them!
I love each one of them but for different reasons. Those eyes of Rocky – they just bind you to the picture. I fell in love with them.
Doodles!! Those whiskers and that carefree, smart pose is too fashionably cute- Vogue needs to cover this 😛
Bella is a true princess. And Prinny – gorgeous black beauty. As if saying, ” I have a lot more to reveal ”
And finally Karma. I am mentioning Karma at the end because she is THE FAVOURITE..The caring glance just floored me, that picture was a story in itself..
Each one of them is so brilliantly captured !! This again made my day..

Your comment by far has been the cream of the crop, the very best, and has put such a huge lump in my throat. These cats are the Love of my Life, and I treat them differently from what most people would do. The Love I have and the trust I have with them, is smack in your face when you view these pictures. Karma and Prinny are on their last phase of life and are continuous work for me. I have become exhausted and have stepped from blogging for a while to have more Me time. I sit here stunned by your words and wish I could broadcast them for all the world to read ….. This guy gets what I am doing!!! Doodles has the longest and thickest whiskers in the house and for his paws they are like mittens and just SO soft. The eye contact on Rocky … Oh yeah he has a very strong pull. ALL these guys have medical problems so are Loved in an extra special way. I have dedicated my Life for now to them and once they leave I will have the opportunity to explore more of my Dreams. As for Karma, he has learned to trust me and the way he looks at me sometimes puts me to tears.
Bless you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to write such a beautiful reply. Your words are putting tears in my eyes now. You have no idea what you have done for me. Thank you! ❤ ❤ ❤
