Learn your history. A good scratch behind the ears, a warm sunbeam, a bowl of tuna — none of these appeared out of nowhere. Everything has a story, even the things you take for granted.

I worked hard for six weeks and finished writing Book # 9. Now my human, the editor, has my manuscript... and I have planned the perfect weekend:

• sleep

• stretch dramatically

• conduct routine window patrol

• ignore my human just long enough to keep expectations realistic

• accept compliments as my due

• return to sleeping

O — Obviously.

N — No chasing toys today.

D — Demand treats instead.

Y — Your expectations amuse me.

The most important questions are WHY and HOW?

Old pawprints make the best maps for new adventures.

I have lived enough lives to know that ignoring the past is a very foolish thing to do. A wise cat remembers which paths led to sunshine, which ones led to rain, and which ones led straight into a puddle. History leaves pawprints for a reason—not to trap us in yesterday, but to help us choose our next adventure with a little more wisdom and a little less unnecessary tail-chasing.
