Dealing with change, the Mew Way
First, the only changes in life that are worth getting a bit worked up about are:
1. an empty food or water dish
2. a dirty litter box
3. suitcases coming out of the closet and your people putting things inside them…
4. Loud thunder or fireworks from outside
5. Strange people or other animals in your house
6. a car ride
7. a visible pet carrier
8. a trip to the vet
9. Small children coming at you… and
10. a change in residence.
If any of these ten things are happening in your life you have every right to:
yowl, hide in the closet, and mope around until somebody notices your distress.
Then, insist on plenty of hugs and cuddling and perhaps a can of salmon or two…
In time, the storm in your life will pass and it will be time for a nap.
Any questions?

Published January 9, 2011 |
My cat Mew has the good life down. He is sweet. He is gentle. He does not stress about much unless his food or water bowls are empty.
The one thing that Mew does really well is love. Plain and simple. He will look at you with his beautiful gentle green eyes and gazingly love you. He will roll onto his back and invite you to rub his underside. He in his own way announces “love me”. Mew seems to know when I am a little down. He will nestle right next to me and just purr. And love.
I know we humans may be a little more complex than our feline friends, but how can we be more loving. How can we be more like Mew, and just be Pure Love?
- We already are pure love. We just need to acknowledge that fact and remind ourselves of it from time to time.
- Be gentle with ourselves and others
- Do what nurtures us.
- Give and serve others.
- Be patient
- Be open to a back rub, a belly rub, a scratch behind the ear, a little pat on the head…
- Don’t fret about stuff that in the end doesn’t matter
- Unconditional acceptance of people, things, and situations
- refrain from judgment
- Rub noses and lick loved ones

The Mew Way: When is it a good time to take a nap?
Published November 27, 2010 | No worries here!
Mew is a cat of principle. There are only certain times of the day when he feels it is appropriate to take a nap.
Here they are:
- When you have a full belly.
- When you are bored.
- When your people are not home.
- When your people are sleeping and you can join them.
- When your people are watching TV.
- Whenever there is a nice warm spot with the sun shining into the house.
- When you are tired from watching the squirrels raid the bird feeder in the back patio.
- In the morning.
- In the afternoon.
- In the evening.
- When it is too hot.
- When it is too cold.
- Whenever there is box to nestle in on the floor.
- When there is a Christmas tree to sleep under.
- When fresh warm clothes and towels from the dryer are piled on the bed.
- After a stressful trip to the vet.
Mew is a cat of integrity. He is pretty good about taking naps only during these times and situations.

Published August 2, 2010 | No worries here!
My cat is an inspiration to me. He is so sweet and knows how to enjoy life. He is good at going with the flow of life without much complaining. When we complain we are screaming out to the universe: “give me more of this!” If we don’t want more of what we are complaining about then it is best to be like my cat mew: hold our tongues, change our thinking into something more positive, and only complain when we absolutely have to.
For instance, it is okay to complain if:
- You are getting stepped on.
- Your food or water dish is empty.
- Your litter box is dirty.
- Your owners are going on a trip and you are about to be abandoned.
- You are being treated roughly.
- Someone is making a lot of noise (such as a hammer or vacuum)
If these six scenarios above are not currently applicable to you, then don’t complain and enjoy your life!
Debra : )
