The CatMan

Bela: L'Homme Chat from Paul Trillo on Vimeo.

...This very short documentary (6 mins) which showcases an extremely eccentric street performer from France that brings along his very affectionate house cats and uses them as part of his act, as he earns a living for his family. His kitties are SO SWEET, and they don't seem to mind too much, except a few cranky moments. If I was a cat I would probably be cranky too, and would much rather be bird watching or snoozing. It is for the most part a happy little video, that for a moment turns strange as he gets accused for mistreating and even drugging his cats, which I doubt. He seems to really love and care for them, as far as I can tell. What do you think??

How to be Alone

via

…I have always been independent, I get it from my Mom, and I must say I love and treasure my alone time. I don't need to be constantly socializing like other people, and I am starting to accept that more and more.

I adore peace and quiet, and I think that is one of the reasons why I love cats so much. I love their spirit of peacefulness & independence.

I thought I would share this sweet and smart little eastern canadian short film about “How to be Alone”.

These are a few of my favourite quotes on being alone:

**When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death—ourselves. –Eda LeShan**

**People who need people are threatened by people who don’t. The idea of seeking contentment alone is heretical, for society steadfastly decrees that our completeness lies in others. –Lionel Fisher, Celebrating Time Alone: Stories of Splendid Solitude**

**A man can be himself alone so long as he is alone … if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free. –Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Idea**
