Cats Stay Calm & Carry On
During World War II, the British Minister of Information printed a poster for public morale titled Stay Calm and Carry On It’s enjoying a renaissance with parodies including Stay Calm and a Carry a Cat, Pet A Cat etc. on posters, T-shirts and other products. We’d won a t-shirt from Purina a while back from Cat Chat (thanks Caren!).
As a wise old mancat, I have no preference for t-shirt designs but know the best cure for anxiety is a good cuddle with my mom, Layla, no matter what she’s wearing. The three sweetest words she says are, “Under the covers”. She lifts up the edge of the duvet and I always dive underneath the downy warmth. Ah, stay calm and purr on my friends. Life is good.

I think you’re very loving and wise Merlin. I like “Under the covers”. I bet you purr a lot of contentment and love.
My cats are on top. I wake up covered head to toe. I love it. Even when I take a nap.
When I get up they always think I say Are you hungry, because I sit up and they’re at their fancy china food plates.

Merlin dear, mew are a truly wise mancat with good advice! I love to go both under and on top the covers to cuddle with my Mom. She says she gets no better love than that from me, which is true. I’m very selective as to whom I allow her to cuddle with other than me. MEWHAHAHA!

We like World War II references. One of my best choices to cuddle with my Mama is to lay down on her chest and have her put the covers over me. Then, I stick my paws out and play a little bit. Purrs, Ateret
