Fata Morgana
by Angela | Category: Tabby's Place
A fata morgana is a form of superior mirage, resembling a sparkly strip of light above the horizon. Old-timey folks thought maybe it was a fairy castle, or a Flying Dutchman.*
A cata Morgana is a form of superior feline, resembling a muscle-bound Mario with two “dead” hind legs. Veterinary folks thought maybe he was fixin’ to die.
“Impending death,” however, was just a mirage.

To be good
by Angela | Category: Tabby's Place
Good boy. Goooooood boy. You’re my gooboy.
Why do we say this to our cats constantly? What makes them so praiseworthy when they’re eating or staring at us or just being happy?

The non-exclusivity clause
by Angela | Category: Tabby's Place
Warning: deep thoughts ahead. If you smell something burning, consider yourself warned.
I’d venture to say that much of the pain in the world is caused by exclusion. The human world, that is.

Into the light
by Angela | Category: Tabby's Place
Whoever they are and whatever they’ve been through, cats don’t do “pretentious.”
Felines simply don’t find it worth their time to say “the ramifications and consequences may be salutary” when they could say “it’ll be fine.” They have no need or desire to impress you with their erudition learnin’. They are what they are: take them or leave them.
In other words, cats are not like grad students, bloggers or Piers Morgan. They were born — blessed? — without the need to impress.

Giant generosity
by Angela | Category: Tabby's Place
It’s a long way from Tabby’s Place to the Garlic Capital of the World. And that’s sad.
But, despite the 2,952 miles between us, the cats have a grade-A angel in Gilroy, CA.
