Fun Cat Coloring Books Reduce Stress.

Cat coloring books for adults? Is this what the world has come to? This is a slight departure from our usual Mondays with Merlin. You see dear ones, I have one word: stress. Everyone seems to be more jittery jangly nine espresso mad lately. It’s almost December and look at the view from our house. Those leaves should be long gone but they won’t let go. Look at the hammock. It’s still being used and the memorial garden, well, it’s not as green but pretty darn okay.

How I loved the hammock but nothing is what it used to be.

We have dear friends moving down to Florida today with their three cats. They had to say good-bye to a home they raised a family in and garden they loved. Big changes are scary and the world more stressful by the minute.

We’re all so stressed, adult coloring books have become all the rage and what could have been a fad, isn’t. In fact, the coloring book phenomena continues to grow and I predict won’t slow down for awhile. It’s an easy, mindless and yet mindful activity to enjoy alone or communally. There are even coloring book clubs they way we used to have knitting circles.

I’d call it a colorful, moving meditation for those too antsy to sit still to meditate.

There is a cat coloring book group on Facebook with some exceptionally talented members. Yes, many are readers here. Hello! There are more and more cat coloring books of every kind. These two are the latest ones sent to us. The Cat Coloring Book by Charlotte Fraser from Source Books is easy but not too simple. The 8.5 x 8.5 is a big enough but not too big. If you like a bigger size and more simple style, I’d suggest the latest from Pusheen by Claire Belton and published by Simon & Shuster. It’s not intricate enough for coloring aficionados but fans of Pusheen will be delighted.

The winner of a copy of Close Encounters of The Furred Kind is Janice. Congrats! Humor books are the best antidote to stress. That and petting, snuggling and hanging out with us cats. Some things never change like how wonderful cats are for humans. Have a colorful week!

Love Merlin,

P.S. Our dear old Clyde has settled in nicely and acting like a proper M– USE to Layla. Check out Instagram or a new thumbnails in our side sidebar. Yes, he’s following in my footstep like a charm. He’s already done one tarot reading and you never know with magic cats what they have up their sleeve. He may have to put a spell on Odin for stealing his food in the the middle of the night. Odin is a notorious scavenger going bowl to bowl and horrors, scraping bits of dry food off the floor. Trust me, no one goes hungry in this house. Clyde is a gentleman and watches but too gracious to say anything.
