"Summer Time"

Today is the first day of daylight savings time, also known as "Summer Time". Last night we changed our clocks ahead one hour to make the most out of sunlight - doing so provides more sun in the evening hours.

This is another first for my little brother, Pasqua Scheggiare. Although there is debate whether cats understand time, as a cat, I can tell you - we do. So, little Pasqua, who has slept soundly through the entire night, every night, since about one month of living with us - decided last night, on the night we would lose one hour of sleep to have a party with the window blinds... at 2am, which, coincidentally, was actually 3am.

He was having a great time playing regardless of our pleadings for him to stop. His party with the window blinds lasted about 10 minutes. A loud, obnoxious, and annoying 10 minutes, which felt like an endless hour.

We are hopeful that this doesn't become a new habit, and that he returns to sleeping soundly through the night.

In other news, this week, he realized there is a chandelier above the dining room table. While mamma worked on her computer, he climbed up on the table to "help" her, and keep her company. To his amazement, above him was a beautiful chandelier which he was tenacious in trying to reach.



Luckily, he was unsuccessful.

As Pasqua grows, he reminds us of the Walt Whitman quote, "You are so much sunshine in every square inch!".

May your last days of winter leave you gently, and may spring greet you warmly.

Purr & Paw,
-Stivali.
