As most of you are well aware - Zach and I are obsessed with our cats. Yes, Klaus and Ming Garrett are the highlight of most of our days and bring joy to our lives. The two children live in grandeur all the days of their lives. The love we have for these two is quite possibly one of the reasons that the two of us decided to go veg a little over a year ago. The more we learned and thought about what we ate, the more we thought "hey wait a sec, I would never roast Klaus and serve him with gravy and corn." That may be an odd thought for most people but it hit close to home for us and made a decision to lay off the meat. Not surprisingly, we have never felt healthier and better! Lately, we've been slowly working towards veganism, although that might take some practice. I've been doing well lately not having any dairy and once you let out the inner scientist when you're shopping, can read the labels and pick out the animal items the producers don't want you to know are actually animal products. It's amazing how it's in so much stuff - even mouthwash!!! YIKES. It always amazes me how dumb they think you are. Yes - pork is pig and steak is cow. Funny how they call it something else so you don't realize what your eating. Hmmm...very crafty. Or maybe it's just good marketing.
Anyway, we certainly don't try to impose our beliefs on anyone, even the cats since they are natural carnivores. We become more fascinated by the creatures in this world and even the ones in our own living room. Ming was especially curious last night and I'll share that briefly.
Christmas is upon us and since the kitties have been good this year, we decided to buy them some special toys. Ming received a few mice with beautiful feathers on their tails. She must have thought she caught a real animal because if anyone went near her she started growling and hissing! It was really funny. Later that night, Zach and I enjoyed watching a special in HD (very nice) on Yellowstone Park. What a lovely place! Ming was sleeping until she heard some birds on the show. She quickly woke up, jumped on the coffee table to see what was going on. She became enthralled in the birds on the show and when the scene changed to show coyotes - she was all over it! She jumped to the TV and started following them. When they weren't on the screen anymore - she looked behind the TV to see where they went! It was quite a sight! Definitely a hunter!
That's all the news now...stayed tuned after this commercial break...
