Many cats like Miss Lucy feel safer resting up high. Offer them plenty of choices. Most people can slightly rearrange their rooms to give cats access to the tops of tall furniture pieces that can be made into perfect perches with the addition of a folded fleece throw.

Miss Mina really seems to like having her picture taken, but cameras can make some cats nervous. Introduce your camera slowly and let them smell it before shooting. Offering a few treats at each photo session can help too! 😺

No sunbeams this morning, but Miss Lucy is still excited about today. Unlike us, cats are always present in the here and now, no mindfulness training needed. 😺

About 70% of cats have some reaction to catnip and silvervine. Miss Mina is partial to the Yeowww! brand of catnip toys.

Miss Lucy has quite a range of facial expressions. Cats lack the facial musculature required for complex expressions, but they still communicate what they're feeling when you know what to look for.

When the nights are cold, Miss Lucy likes to burrow under the covers. It's important that cats be allowed in your bed. It's the human scent center of the house and being there helps them to feel more secure.

Miss Mina may be 16 years old (that's around 80 for you and me) but she still loves to play. Don't assume your senior cat doesn't want to play. Offer them interactive play opportunities and let them decide.

Miss Lucy has decided that my desk chair makes a great, pre-warmed sleeping spot. This is the "What? Me?" face she makes when I ask her to move so I can get back to work. 😺

Miss Mina is initiating play and showing more affection since her last vet visit. These are small changes but they're the narrow windows through which cats can show us how they're feeling.

Miss Lucy had a happy Thanksgiving weekend filled with sunbeams and treats. 😺 We hope that you and yours had a happy holiday as well!

Cat Head is Miss Lucy's favorite toy. She treats it like a kitten and moves it around to places where she feels it will be safe overnight. ❤️ I plan to start shooting pics documenting the various places she places it.
