hannah loves being a kitty. i don't know where she gets it since i don't love cats (mainly alley).
she especially loves being "hannah kitty" when i ask her to do something, like "pick up your dress up clothes" or "put on your shoes". to which she responds in a long, slow:
"meeeoooowwwwww", while slouching into kitty position.
but, rather than fight the feline inside her, i work with it. sometimes to my own advantage. when i feel a potential battle arising, i turn into "mama kitty" and "meeeeoooowwwww" right back and ask her (in my loving, kitty voice of course), to "put your kitty shoes on your kitty paws" or "use your sharp kitty teeth to pick up your dress up clothes; like a real kitty would do."
if there has been no kitty funny business, we end the feline encounter with kitty milk and kitty food. works like a charm.

I wish we lived closer. Mercy acts like a cat around new people, pretending to have claws and all. LOVELY.

TOP PICTURE- That face. So cute.
I was totally the same way when I was that age- kitty business and all.
Until our cat got run over by our school bus. That kind of ended the kitty fun. (ha- no joke)
Okay, this made me laugh so much because Ches, too, loves to be a kitty. Although lately he is into being a dog, but still. We really need to get these two together.
Oh bless her heart, I LOVE this post. Love these pics. Love those girls!

Healthy Lifestyle Tip: Happiness Is Contagious
Do you ever wonder whether happy people have something that keeps them cheerful, chipper and able to see the good in everything? It turns out they do, they have happy friends.
New research from Harvard Medical School and the University of California suggests that happiness is influenced not only by the people you know, but by the people they know. The study shows that happiness spreads through social networks, sort of like a virus, meaning that your happiness could influence the happiness of someone you've never even met.
"We have known for a long time that there is a direct relationship between one person's happiness and another's," says study co-author James H. Fowler, PhD, University of California. "But this study shows that indirect relationships also affect happiness. We found a statistical relationship not just between your happiness and your friends' happiness, but between your happiness and your friends' friends' happiness."
They concluded that the happiness of an immediate social contact increases an individual's chances of becoming happy by 15 percent. The happiness of a second-degree contact, such as the spouse of a friend, increases the likeliness of becoming happy by 10 percent, and the happiness of a third-degree contact, or the friend of a friend of a friend, increases the likelihood of becoming happy by 6 percent.
Surround yourself with happy people, because happy friends can make you happy.
back to me again--sorry, i know that was a long paste, but i just wanted you to know that you are indirectly/directly/whatever-you-wanna-call-it making me happy!
we need to catch up--
xo.aud
callie - you love cats
