Life is a page turner.

Life is full of good times and bad. Like a good book, the various events are  embedded on  its pages.
  I worry over the stressful  times when the shiny bottom of  my  food dish appears. 
Yet I'm thrilled by the  happy times when  a plate of smoked salmon lays before me,  or when I get to lick the cream that  clings to the rim of Judy's coffee mug. 
Sometimes life gives me  a fresh clean-smelling litter box when only the day before I  struggled the with a rank, crowded bathroom which  provided no place to squat.

 Life is a page turner. 

What pushes  me through those days of stinging,  sinus-clearing odors and  tummy growling  parts of life to reach  the happy, peaceful  side?What makes me willing to face the real fears of life?   What makes my life spectacular? 

Faith is ... 
Believing  the black, bad times pave  the way for warm, bright  places.

                                                       Nature's beauty calms my  soul and quiets my  mind. I never tire of my life on the road.

River walks and hiking trails to stalk. Chasing red fallen leaves and lapping from blue mountain pools. Shivering in the shade of chilly, snow crest mountains and pondering and rolling upon the carpets of lush, sweet-smelling grasses.

I watch squirrels and rabbits scamper past our door and lizards bask on rocks heated by the sun. I contemplate my tail and why it twitches before I ponce on the big bug meandering across my path. And still, I dream of far off places.

Always the world, new and exciting  .... and scary, awaits when I venture out of my cozy, safe den on wheels. 

I wonder about life and what is to come. Will it be tuna or salmon tonight? I never ponder more than a few hours at a time, because, really, that is all any of us have. Look out the window, see what I see.

Do you hear the water making its   musical waltz as it trickles or roars, or rushes on its way? Have you heard the thunder and lightning, exciting and stimulating as war drums?

My evenings are neon-lit sunsets my nights, fluorescent from a full moon or glittering from the limited light of a Russian moon.

   Go ahead look out the window and dream!

Birthdays, Mario Andretti, and Feline Fury

Happy birthday, mom. I know you have been busy with your Mario Andretti Racing experience  and  overwhelmed with  all of your birthday wishes.

But just to remind you,  it is also MY birthday today. Right from the scratching post, I want to thank all of you, my adoring fans, who have sent me greetings. I may be just an old Tom, but I   can still cat around if the desire arises. 

I was not going to bring it up but  I  am twitching my tail over the latest development in my life. Lately a particular feline fan has been purring and prowling Judy’s face book page. So much so that  Judy became irritated because I am  always on messenger moaning and growling day and night. She insisted I get my own Facebook page, Sportster The Cat.

I met this gorgeous feline as a kitten prowling the streets, long ago, before I became the famous, Sportster the Cat.  I promised her I would  keep her identity a secret because she does not want to be hounded by  my admirers and news reporters, but I will call her Annabelle, same as the character in my new book, ACTIVATE LION MODE.

She told me that after I disappeared all those years ago,  she searched every tree, every bush looking for me and finally had to give up. She told me  since then, she  has thought of me often. Now we have been reminiscing about what we had and how the years  have gone by. She has made a life for herself and I have too -- lives far apart  that do not include one another.

All I know is she lives somewhere on the famous mother road, Route 66. Can you believe it? I can't believe it is happening to me!  Judy and I are driving Route 66 this year, from our home in Sun City, California all the way to Judy's  home town of  Springfield, Illinois. I am planning the trip now.  I will find Annabelle.

In the meantime, I will be ready for her, when we meet. I will work out and get in shape. I have a lot of time to make up for when I see her again. Nothing's going to get by this old Tom ever again.

 

 

But I am a cat of many moods and one thing I have learned is that life goes on, so “Don’t blink”, as Kenny Chesney sings in his hit country song,  “Life goes faster than you think…” I am fortunate. I have nine lives, I have a lot of time.  But for you humans out there,  grab the catnip mouse while you still can.

 

And don’t forget to watch for my first book in the FELINE FURY SERIES, titled,

  ACTIVATE LION MODE and Judy's latest book, MASADA'S MISSION.
