Creating Wellbeing has had a hostile takeover and Shōga is now in charge. The new rules are simple: more naps, more snacks, and staying close to the boss at all times. Productivity happens when you’re comfortable, and wellbeing comes first. Photo of CEO @shoga_cat #shoga #shōga #shōgacat #cattherapy #cattherapist

A huge thank you to the wonderfully talented Heather Barker @heartwork_art_therapy for this stunning portrait of my beloved Shōga that absolutely made my day! She captured his perfect half-lidded expression, pink nose, and glorious fluff with such heart that it feels like pure magic on paper. My heart is full, Shōga sends his approval, and I’m grinning ear to ear! Celestial Shōga by @heartwork_art_therapy #shoga #shōga #shōgacat #therapistcat #cattherapy #catart

Bird watching. Quiet from the outside. Two nervous systems tuned together, eyes following flicker and shadow. A small thrill in not missing it, a comfort in noticing together. Nothing dramatic happens, and that is the point. Held breath, softened time, wings just out of frame. @shoga_cat and Rae Sabine bird watching #shoga #shōga #shōgacat #birdwatching #birdlovers

I was in the middle of reading when Shōga jumped right onto the book. He seemed to notice that one of the characters looked just like him, the same golden colour in the fur. Maybe that’s why he decided to join in for storytime and make sure we didn’t miss the resemblance.

Shōga jumped onto my lap while I was writing case notes the other day. He was completely sure his input was very important and tried his best to help by sitting right next to the keyboard, purring like he was doing serious work. He’ll have to wait his turn for the collective braincell though. Ginger cats only have one to share, and it clearly wasn’t his turn.
