Even doggies like Music for Cats
Well, mama got the sweetest email from Mungo and Jet, who suggested that we acquire some special Music for Cats in this house for yours truly and so mama went right to the site and downloaded four songs that will keep me comforted and relaxed while THEY are out gallivanting and having fun WITHOUT ME!
Thank you so much, you thoughtful kitties, and I hope this works for others.
They also mentioned that “another good thing is that sales will support The Paw Project who campaign for an end to declawing of cats in the USA (and have influenced other countries like Israel to outlaw it.”
I cannot imagine how anyone can do that to an animal. Think about your own claws and how that would feel to YOU. I believe it is called torture.

On another subject:
Shame on you, Americans who wish to ban Muslims from our free country.
All of us in this house are appalled at the Republican support for Mr. Trump’s call to ban Muslims from the USA. A wonderful piece in the NYT interviewed several Muslims in different jobs around New York City and their reaction to Mr. Trump’s hysterical speech. What is even more appalling is that a large percentage of non-Republican Americans are considering his words as if they were sane!!!
What on earth has happened to our United States of America? Are we next going to require that all Muslims in our country, students, doctors, lawyers, men, women and children, citizens of the USA, wear some kind of identification, as was required by Hitler of the Jews? Are we going to put Muslims in concentration camps as we shamefully did the Japanese during World War II? Are we out of our minds? Perhaps the person next door in your community who harbours assault weapons in his closet should be required to wear a large red star on his clothing, symbolizing the blood shed from the misuse of arms in our gun-crazy country.
Fear is catching. Fear is a disease. Fear is the worst of the four-letter words. Fear distorts rational thinking. Fear is exactly the tool that ISIS and radical terrorists groups use to attempt to pull rational human beings down into the hole of ignorance in which they wallow. Do you think a child is born a radical racist Islamist? One has to be taught to hate, maim and kill. And it is heartening that good, hard-working American Muslims everywhere are awakening to the threat to their own way of life that radical Islamists are creating. This will be the greatest weapon used against terrorists–not to succumb to fear.
The sane must keep their heads about them when all other are losing theirs. Talk to your Muslim neighbour. Talk to Muslim strangers. Do not let fear hold you prisoner in your own being. Do you even know what Islam is? Well, for heaven’s sake, FIND OUT! And keep on your own path of sanity or you may find yourself wearing a label of your own making one day.
We need some music to soothe us, so we’ll check that site out!
I hope you do better than mama. She bought the music, it’s very inexpensive, and she can’t find it on our computer!!!
Hey Loulou, thank you for passing on the link to other cats, it is such lovely music, we know humans will like it too. Love the picture of the tabby asleep on the dog, what enormous paws! Lets hope the music helps many more cats keep their paws intact.
The NYT article is so profound. In the UK we are seeing a tsunami of hatemongering towards Muslim people, actively encouraged by our sewage farm media. The Daily Mail employs a particularly nasty hate monger called Katie Hopkins, her entire purpose in life is to spread hatred of individuals and groups. She has many, many fans.
We are all born loving, sociable and non violent, we’d have a wonderful world if we all remembered that.
These are very sad times, bigots & haters are getting the upper hand. We are ashamed of the UK.

Well, my favourite kitties, the USA is full of hatred and prejudice and racism along with the UK. Perhaps because you are an island, there is less room for tolerance…but we are ALL immigrants in the US and we forget that. Unless you are a full-blooded American Indian.
LOVE my music. Many thanks again.
Loulou
We used to be tolerant, well more than we are now. It’s all just gotten too hatey for us. You are right about the island mentality though. But hey, aren’t even the big continents islands too?
The happiest times the ape has had has been living in thoroughly mixed communities. So much to learn, to share, to enjoy.
Lots of the white UK folk are actually immigrants too, from way back, from France, Germany, Italy & the Nordic lands – but they forget that. We are all pretty much mixed race here.

Yeah, like kitties often are. And yes, such a richer life when everyone has something different to bring to the table, so to speak. We are all immigrants…..
Oh, music for cats. Is there any to soothe the restless Marcus?
Go to Google and look for music for nervous doggies. I’ll find you some. But Mungo and Jet say that this is for doggies, too. The best is to SING to them, Jan.
Well dat’s pawsum LouLou. We luv misic too. Not so much da cat soothin’ stuff, or at least da ones we have heard, but we luv our Southern gospel and most of all mommy singin’ to us. We fink dat peeps shuld unnerstand, dat Muslim and Islam is a religion and not a race of people. Dat purrticular religion is very hateful and teaches da peeps to lie and kill. You are right dat America needs to wake up. We need to wake up and unnerstand who and what da enemy is. This countwy dus have freedom of religion but also seperation of church and state. This is sumfin’ da Muslim religion dusn’t do. You are right a child is not born to hate, but indoctrination starts very young in any country and starts wiff da parents. We purray fur peace and unnerstandin’ and a better new year in 2016. Have a blest weekend and enjoy yous relaxin’ music.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
Thank you for your blessings. But there are very kind and good Muslims everywhere who practice Islam. And in our own bible there are some pretty violent teachings….
One has to choose the best of every religion and stay with that. Mama’s knee doctor is Muslim and she is going to learn more about what it means from him. He is so kind and so skilled.
