January 14, 2019 - 123 - "Cats: De-Motivational Speakers"

Why are you awake?  Just five more minutes...

     My alarm was set at the godawful hour of 1:30 this morning.  Don't ask.  It definitely was not my preference.  

     I've been dog tired  (ha ha) all day, but had a lot of stuff to get done so I could only take short breaks to rest.  

     Ella has been a huge help.  

The couch is just over there...we'd
better go make sure it's still
comfortable.

        

     Yeah, right.  That's a lie.  

     She's a cat.  She has spent the day following me around the house suggesting, in her own feline way that I do the sensible thing:  lie down and take a nap.

     If there was a motivational conference for cats it would...well, it wouldn't exist.  Cats have no desire to be motivated.  They are not Motivational Speakers as much as Napitational Seekers.

    Cats are the anti-serum to the whole motivational speaker/life coach/self-improvement movement.  They're not interested in any of that stuff.  They consider themselves perfect as they are.

     Cats don't care to be motivated.

     Still...if there were such an event, I suspect the keynote speaker would offer life-hack tips something like these:  

Top 10 Cat-Rules For Success

Follow Your Passion Circadian Rhythms
Don't Care What Others Think
Always Do Your Best (Napping)
Get Inspired Plenty of Sleep
Work on Yourself Your Humans
Encourage Others (To Sleep Too)

I'm trying to post something before midnight.
I'm so sleepy and keep nodding off between sentences.
 I'm afraid I'm going to bloody my nose when my face hits 
the desk next.  Ella, helpfully, jumped in my lap and
immediately fell asleep...that makes me feel alert...not.
