CATS ON THE COUCH, TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2008
ORION, AND THE MESSAGE IS IN THE SUBTEXT
It was time for Orion’s dinner. He sat nearby as I prepared it. But as I placed it down for him to eat, he simply stared at me.
“What’s wrong Orion? Aren’t you hungry?” I said. He continued to stare. As I reached down to stroke him, he started to purr, and I felt my body relax. He slowly began to eat. I quickly realized that Orion’s stare was a reaction to my body language. It had been a tense, hectic day, and his behavior had mirrored my thoughts.

Guardians, Learn to Think Like a Cat!
My cat, Orion, and I were speakers at the NYC Cat Acatemy that was overflowing with feline guardians. It was a fun-filled catmosphere.
The Meow Mix Cat Acatemy has now finished their annual national tour. If you were unable to attend the Acatemy in person, you can learn to think like a cat with cat napping and my other online lessons. Score well on the aptitude test and you can get your online degree. The more you think like a cat, the better your feline relationship will be. You may need a little help from your cat. But won't your cat be proud of your choice in higher education where the tuition is free? Click here (http://www.meowmix.com/acatemy/lessons.htm) to participate in the fun.

Oscar the Cat Predicts Death
Oscar is the feline resident at a nursing home in Providence, Rhode Island who seems to have predicted the deaths of 25 of the residents. In case after case, when he has curled up next to someone, it usually means they have less than four hours of life left. I was interviewed about Oscar by NBC-TV.
