The Felitron

Subtle Energy Harmonizing Device

This instrument harmonizes disturbed subtle energy patterns of an cat. It depends upon radionic, shamanic and dowsing principles. Its effectiveness depends on your confidence in your efforts, your degree of focused intent, and your dowsing ablities.

I dunno … it’s either this or the psychic facelift. What do you think?

feria de jerez

What a fabulous day!

I haven’t been to the Feria de Jerez since May 2005. It is absolutely my most favourite feria, much better than the very famous Feria de Abril in Sevilla. And so yesterday myself, Nog, Jay, Pipocas & Chucky & Kidlet, “R” (another of the ladies) and her visiting friend all converged on Jerez to spend an afternoon at the fair…

Now we all know what Azar is up to behind Nog’s laptop. . .

cats reduce heart attack risk

cats reduce heart attack risk

The cat owners had a 30 per cent reduction in heart attack risk than participants who didn’t own cats, said the study’s lead author

Yeah I know, seem to be on a roll with the cat stuff lately … but isn’t this excellent news for all of us who have cats that allow us to live with them!  So, does the fact that I live with two cats lower my heart attack risk by 60 per cent? Or do I also have to take Nog into consideration?

let me in

Speaking of gatos, remember wake up cat?

Well, here is another one that I came across today on Miss Cellania.

   Enjoy!

please, señorita, can we have some more?

Do you reckon they practice when I’m not home?

blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
- Lennon/McCartney

I was lying in bed this morning around 5.30, cursing that I hadn’t slept enough and dreading the alarm going off at 6.45 … and then I heard it. The first blackbird of the year, singing outside my window. And I smiled and almost laughed aloud because their song is so happy-sounding (before I knew their name I always called them the ‘wonky birds’ because they never seemed to sing the same thing twice). Oh, I’m so glad they’re back . . .

i can has amputashun?

Five-legged cat to lose two paws

A five-legged cat is to undergo surgery to remove a superfluous paw growing from the left side of her body.
The operation will not make her a four-footed feline, as vets also plan to amputate a deformed left hind leg.

open windows

It’s been so sunny and warm here the past few days that I’ve been able to open up the balcony doors during the afternoon to let some warm air and sunshine into casa az. This time of year it’s often warmer outside than inside at midday. And after having been cooped up without much fresh air for the past couple of months the cats are totally loving it, immediately going out to sit on the balcony and take in huge gulps of air … oh, the little darlings. In general they’re quite happy being house cats and can spend most of the year hanging out on the balconies to get some fresh air and even do a bit of serious sunbathing. But of course during the winter the balcony doors stay shut in order to keep the place at least somewhat warmish.

Anyhow, I’m loving it too, being able to sit here without wearing three sweaters and a scarf … it’s about 20º today, which for me is almost sandal weather. And so that pic up top is the view today from one of the living room balconies. The bedroom balcony view looks like this.

I feel so lucky to live here.
