One day she lost her way in the deep dark woods, and thought that she would never find her way to safety. She was lonely and scared as she made her way through the woods, frightened by every sound she heard and unsure of what she would find around every tree.
After several days of wandering, and eating only what she could catch (mainly frogs and worms), she was overjoyed when she came across a small 4-bed semi in the middle of a sun-dappled clearing. Two magpies, dressed in beautiful black and white tail-coats, sat on a nearby wall. They seemed to be friendly, and only watched silently as she made her way over to look in the grimy windows.
Inside the 4-bed semi it was a little untidy and very dusty. Gorgeous wondered what creatures could live in such a dwelling. She promised herself that after she had found something to eat, and had a cat-nap, she would clean the house from top to bottom, so that when the occupants came home, they might invite her to stay.
She followed her nose to the sink, where she found a bowl which had been used to make porridge. It was half full of water, sitting in the middle of a basin - like an island oasis, calling to her.
She would have to stand in the basin, which had water in it, to reach the porridge, but she knew that it would be worth getting her feet wet.
And she was right. The congealed porridge tasted like nectar. Whoever lived here certainly knew how to make porridge!
Princess Gorgeous decided there and then that she was going to stay in the 4-bed semi for ever and ever, so she found herself a lovely warm airing cupboard to have her nap, leaving the housework for another day!
When the family came home, they were delighted to welcome Princess Gorgeous, although they were a little disappointed that she hadn't cleaned the house for them before having her cat-nap!!!
Today I am grateful for the inspiration that is my baby-cat. There is simply never a dull moment with her around, whether she is sitting on my knee helping me to meditate, or purring around my head at 5.30 in the morning in the hopes of getting me up early!
Gratefully yours.
