As I often invite other people to do, I am interrupting my focus on the future (as reflected in recent blog posts regarding uncertainties about my health) to be more in the moment.
What is happening in the moment?
- I feel pretty darn healthy.
- Nothing terrible is happening to me or to those I love.
- I have shelter, food, and work I value. And, if those three weren’t enough (which they are),
- I am surrounded by cool cats.
In case you have any doubts about #4, look in the mirror, please. Also, I have ample photographic proof of other cool cats surrounding me:
Already, this post is cheering me up. And if I looked around more closely, I’m sure I would find many more cool cats to show you. However, I need to end this post and go to Mount Auburn Hospital, to work out with cool cats including Carla, Danise, and Kathy:
whose picture appeared previously in this here cool-cat post.
Is there anything, in the moment, that would prevent ME from being as cool a cat as possible? Well, I am having some uncool worry, especially regarding some year-end challenges at work.
Here’s my resolution: I shall be as cool as all the other cats pictured in this post, as I face any obstacles or worries today.
Because, you know what? I’m a cool cat, too! If I weren’t, how could I be surrounded by so many other cool cats?
The only thing that could make this post cooler or cattier is some cool-cat music:
(“Stray Cat Strut” performed live by the Stray Cats found by this cool cat here on YouTube.)
If you want to join all the other cool cats in this post, just pass me a stray cat-class or cat-style comment below.
Cool, cats?
Many thanks to all the cool (or warm) cats who read any of my stray thoughts, ever!

You are a very cool cat. Keep your tail in the air and keep reaching for the treats! No worries! 🙂
PS–I super-duper love that song. My brother is a musician and I always make him play that one for me when I visit him!
I super-duper love this visit from you!
This post is the cat’s meow and so are you. It cheered me up ahead of a super-busy day. Loved the photo of the cat with your parents.
And you, Maureen, are the cat’s pajamas.
Waaaaay Cool!
Waaaaay cool comment!

Takes one to know one, Diana!
Ann, you surely are one cool cat.
And this cool cat is chill in’ at the BEACH where I am very, very contented, as all cats should be.
Meow! I don’t mean to be catty but I WISH I WERE CHILLIN’ ON A BEACH, too. Thanks for chillin’ here, Emilie.
Remember that dogs have owners, but cats have staff!
How could i forget? Thanks for the reminder, wonderful English Professor.

LOVE that you stopped by, Mary!
I like mew. I purr too. My three cats taught me how. Meow 😻😽

And just in time!
Brian Setzer has nothing on Ann Koplow. Strut it, my friend.
I shall do my best, friend Mark.
We’re covered in cats around here! Seven inside, seven neighborhood cats that we feed outside. Very cool cats, indeed! 😀
That is 14 times cool, Linda! Glad that you strutted by here today.
So cool, Hilary! Many thanks.
Purr-fectly wonderful to be among the cool cats. Your cool cat photos are a delight. The sound in the Stray Cat music video faded midway, but the band played on. Cool!
Thank you, purrfectly delightful and cool Judy!
