“Message from Cat

Be alert, and observe your surroundings using all your senses. Take time to stretch and maintain your physical flexibility. Relax and curl up with your loved ones. Let yourself lie down and take a nap when you feel the need to rest. Use your voice to comfort yourself and others through song or humming. The sound and breath of your hum will slow your breathing and soothe you.”
