Today is rainy and dreary so I’ll be inside the house all day today. There are some ducks outside that seem to be enjoying the rain, though.  I’ll just stand and watch the ducks for a while. Seeing ducks always reminded me of a little story I was told as a kitten. If you have a moment, I would like to share it with you. It’s a short simple story. » Read more

The other day, when everyone was gone from the house, and I was away from my keyboard, I settled myself on top of the couch and gazed out the front window at the neighbourhood and the hills beyond. I thought of what a lucky cat I was. I don’t live at the top of the hill. I don’t eat Fancy Feast at every meal. But, although I am ambitious, I am also content.

The common misconception about Kachingle!

When it comes to money, people think twice before spending it. It’s their money, right? — they worked for it; they want to decide how to spend it.
