Compassion is Always in Fashion
It’s Mondays With Merlin. Yes, even while recovering from Sandy, I’m a trooper. Listen, when you get to be an old cat like me, being a little inconvenienced by no Internet is no biggie. To be honest, I like that my mom Layla isn’t glued to a computer screen 24/7. I think all cats will agree: spending more time with cats is time well spent. Since Sandy hit, I didn’t miss one hot meal and our bed was as cozy and warm as ever, but not all kitties, doggies and hoomans were so lucky. So, my lesson of the day is about being nice by helping a friend, neighbor, why even a stranger. What a concept! Compassion is always in fashion! If you feel like helping, contact your animal local shelter or Red Cross. You’ll be glad you did.
We won’t be here tomorrow so if you’re an American citizen, please don’t be of two minds. You have a choice. Vote!

Merlin, I am glad you and your kitty buddies and your cat Mom all survived Sandy with your home and your lives intact. I did my American duty and already have voted by mail.
I still believe cats should rule the world. I feel it would be a more compassionate place indeed although the dogs may not like it too much. 🙂

Was just reading the NYT about how desperate the people are – no shelter, no food. We have lots of extra canned goods. So going to donate and help where I can.

Merlin we are glad to hear you are taking this in stride. We were a bit worried about you in particular. We know older cats hate change in their routines.

Compassion is always in fashion! I agree!
I’m not US citizen, so I can’t vote. But my husband will.

We agree about compassion. And random acts of kindness too! 🙂
Coverage of the US election has been all over our news, of course, as who’s in the White House affects us too.

My human ALWAYS votes!
