Brendel Chillaxing

Brendel was chilling in her favorite tree and I snapped a photo really quick. She usually looks the other way when I get the camera. I have to be fast with her. She has a great view here. The window looks out onto the deck and the birds are always visiting. Then she can take a nap when she gets tired of bird watching. She has a pretty good life. So glad I rescued her. The Dude is outside in the screen room snoozing. My cats tend to make me lazy on some days. But they also help with any stress I might have. I learn from them how easy it is to just chill. So that is what I do. Chillax. What about you? Do your animals help your stress level? Have you had a great day?

Certainly cats know how to relax. Our ginger cat used to get himself into some amazing positions.

What beautiful markings Brendal has, not to mention her beautiful green eyes, cute face, and soft looking tootsies! Orville kept us in stitches today with his antics. He actually hovered at our lanai and peeked throughout the glass doors and flew back and forth in front of the window I'm at, looking in at every chance. I also had a conversation with Doodles on FaceTime a little while ago. No stress, because I told people I didn't want to get together today. A great day!

Yes, she is something. I love the orange stomach. And her green eyes, that is what attracted me to her in the beginning. Glad you stay in touch with Mr. D!

Great picture of her. It's a wonderful life for her and The Dude. Yes, I always felt the stress leave when I had a dog. I can't have pets here, though I really wish I could.

That looks like the perfect place for a cat nap. I know how much they love basking in the sunshine. Brendel has beautiful eyes!

Sometimes..Nico has been napping most of the day..which is pretty unusual for him. He just wakes up whenever I am doing something he considers exciting.

That's a great shot. You captured her perfectly. Sometimes the pets help my stress level, other times they add to it. I have indoor outdoor pets, so they are often wanting to be on the other side of the door from where they are.

hHanks, I had to be quick. That is why I love cats, they are low maintenance.
