Eight Principles of Living The Mew Way Life
Published February 20, 2012 | 
Living The Mew Way, like my cat does, is not that difficult.
We just need to keep a few basic principles in mind:
1. Ask for what we want (make some noise if our food or water bowls are empty, litter boxes are dirty, or if a lap to sleep on is required).
2. Look tenderly at the ones we love.
3. Appreciate fresh air and the natural world.
4. Eat when we are hungry.
5. Sleep when we need to.
6. Don’t stress about much.
7. Be a good companion.
8. Love is the most important thing! Cuddling, petting, kisses….are mandatory throughout the day.

Published June 29, 2011 |
Right Thinking, The Mew Way is all about:
1. limiting thinking to only what is necessary
2. keeping it simple
3. Being more than thinking
4. Being in the NOW
5. Finding very little to stress about
6. When there is a reason to stress, it is brief.
According to the Mew Way philosophy, when one has to think they will mostly be these simple (and importantly, fleeting- not lingering) thoughts:
1. Love, purr
2. Hungry, put food in my dish NOW
3. Thirsty, fill up that sink with water NOW
4. Fed. Watered. Thank you. Purr
5. Sleepy. Stretch. Yawn. Nap time
6. Pay attention to me
7. Hello
8. Love. Purr
Occasionally, situations will arise that will deem it necessary to think a bit more urgently.
For example:
1. Don’t step on me!
2. Fireworks! Thunder! Strange people in the house. I need to hide.
3. Suitcases coming out of closet. Something’s up with my people… and I don’t like it.
4. Strange kitty outside…
5. Pet carrier coming in from the garage. REALLY don’t like this development!
Even under these circumstances the thoughts of concern are brief and fleeting. They are not the cause of obsessing or worrying over time about it. When the stressful event is over, IT IS OVER. No lost sleep. No agonizing. No regret about it down the road in later years.
Mew wishes all a purrfectly peaceful day.

Published June 25, 2011 |
Mew understands the need for a little structure. The night before he contemplates what he wants to do or get done the next day. When the new day arrives, here is how he goes about his day:
1. Begin the day with a few nibbles. If the food bowl is empty, cry until a human wakes up and takes care of business.
2. Get a little drink of water. The water in the water bowl is of low quality. Therefore, cry again until a human fills the bathroom sink up with some water.
3. Nestle in with humans and get some more sleep.
4. Wake up with humans.
5. Help whenever and however necessary by being close by and looking cute.
6. Sleep some more.
7. Get some tasks done: groom oneself.
8. That was exhausting. Sleep some more.
9. Help daddy pay the bills by sitting on the paperwork on the desk by the computer.
10. After getting scooted by daddy, move onto the computer keyboard.
11. When scooted again, move onto daddy’s lap.
12. Sleep some more.
13. Help mommy cook dinner by sitting on kitchen floor right where mommy will be working.
14. Accompany humans for dinner and after dinner movie. on the couch.
15. What an all together productive day… good night!
No worries here!
