Friday I had to say goodbye to my sweet kitty cat Lillie (Lils or Lillery as I like to call her). She was a character! So today I am going to share a few of her endearing personality traits to show you why I loved her so much.
Her favorite place to sit was on my lab. So I when I sat on the couch I tried to have everything around me that I needed so I wouldn’t disturb her by getting up. As such she wasn’t the best exercise motivator. When I exercised, she did her best to get me to go back on the couch so my lap would be available once again.
She did help me work on my balance. I had read that cats keep track of where their person was in the house. She had a knack of always darting in front of me as I walked around the house. She was frequently under foot when I was using weights so I had to be careful that I didn’t hit my 10 lb cat with my huge 8 lb weights.
Her other favorite place to sleep was on top of my laptop especially when it was cold out. So I did my best only use the larger monitor and not open the laptop for a second screen. I always kept a few pens, toys or lip balms nearby so she could play and knock them off the table.
Another favorite thing of hers to do was to drink water from the kitchen tap. If I did need to use the laptop screen then she would run to the sink and rub her face against the faucet so I would turn it on for her. When she was done she would jump down with her characteristic rhythm has her paws landed on the chair, then the flood and then for some reason she always ran across the house after her drink.
She loved to join me on zoom calls and phone calls. Most of the folks on the call met and knew Lillie. When I was on the phone with friends or family she would rub her face against the phone and my friends would ask what it the noise and I would say that is Lillie rubbing against the phone wanting to join the conversation.
These are just a few of her cute traits that made me love her so much. I miss you Lillie! It is strange to be typing this on my lap without having to move my computer awkwardly to the side so you can be front and center on my lap.
Now lets talk about food and exercise. I have been back to sautéing veggies with curry and ginger. Very tasty! For exercise I am up to day 7 of my 28 day routine and yoga is on the calendar. I am thinking of using the swap button so I can try Aly’s new sun salutations. Editing to add that I finished Haley's mental refresh program. It really helped me through last week. Now I put the 2 week stress reduction program back on my calendar and will try not to let having to use the reschedule button make me lose momentum so I can continue with it this time.
Now I would like to hear how your weekend is going. All are welcome to tell us what is going on and talk about what is on your mind, this is Ppals after all. And if your exercise and delicious food make an appearance that is great too.
Thanks for listening to me talk about my Lillie cat!
