Mindful Minda

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

We have another rescue cat in the office. Like Chike, Minda likes to hang around in front of the monitor ‘supervising’ my work. Yesterday, I guess he sensed my mood and fell asleep on the printer. I could not complete my paperwork at all :-).

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a cat as your boss?

Cheerful Chike

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

We have a kitten here at work. Chike, was rescued from a dreadful state when she was only two weeks old, by my colleague. She was found in a client’s house severely injured, malnourished, dehydrated, and her ears were almost chewed off.

Inspite of her difficult past, Chike has grown into a lovely little cat and is psychologically healthy. Cesar Milan from ‘Dog Whisperer’ always mentions how dogs (presumably cats and other animals too) live in the moment, and we can learn a lot from them. It is us humans who brood over the past or the future.

Whenever she is around, Chike illuminates the office atmosphere. Her antics always gets my attention, I invariably end up joining her and never manage to get any work done.

Animals bring in so much of happiness into our lives. I would love to have a pet, but have never lived where I could have one. Hopefully I will move soon to where I can have pets.
