A young friend of mine who is a seven year-old cat lover paid me a visit before I left for Hawaii. Logan’s family bred dogs for many years in Washington State and now the are living in England, but Logan clearly has an affinity for cats. He has many times in my presence proven himself an expert in non-verbal communication with cats. I affectionately refer to Logan as “the cat whisperer”.
Several years ago during a visit to my home, Logan crawled out through the small series of tunnels leading from my garage to the outside kitty condo. Within minutes, he was totally immersed in kitties’ world and they in his. It was total bliss for all of them, and simply incredible to witness. Last year Logan visited again. Despite several years passing between his visits, Logan remembered all the cats’ names and ages within minutes. This is no easy feat given my large collection of cats.
During this visit, I once again marveled as I watched Logan and my eleven cats pick up where they left off, seemingly understanding one another immediately. Logan observed that the new expanded kitty condo reminded him of a Hyatt Regency (pretty sophisticated seven year-old!). He sounded like an experienced physician diagnosing the situation when he explained, very matter-of-factly, that he had checked with all the cats and that they were all very happy. And as you can see from the photo, Logan checked out the shelves and boxes first hand!
Today, and everyday, seize the day and savor the moments!
