** FaceTime Consult    ** Mutual Comfort    ** Distant Reiki

Remembering the grooming session and the Facetime consult with Benu, the first cat, and Nisu the kitten ….

Watching Benu groom Nisu the kitten on FaceTime

Mutual Comfort
Their guardian tidied Nisu the kitten with a soft pad while Benu groomed her.  This uncanny behavior was Benu’s ritual.  Nisu went on automatic, because it put her in the comfort zone.

As Benu groomed Nisu, she relaxed and relived the pleasure and coziness she knew when groomed and nestled by her mother.  Benu’s new ritual was a nod to their mutual comfort.

Distant Reiki
Their session ended with the anticipation of their distant Reiki session and they were mesmerized by the sparkle of the Christmas tree. Fortunately, they were voyeurs.
