Julie Andrews, in the most excellent musical, The Sound of Music, suggests that we think of our favorite things when we are afraid or troubled.

I am troubled. Will Fish come home today? Is he ok? What does "confinement" mean?

Julie mentions "whiskers on kittens" so I know she'll approve of my List of Favorite Things:

bottle caps

q-tips

string

cat toy stuffies

gekkos in the house

bellowing in the middle of the night

waking Mom up really early

running through the bedroom at high speed meowing

scratching furniture

chasing or being chased by my dog, Sister

licking Fish

eating cat cookies

these are a few of my favorite things.

Cat Kisses,

Whistle
