Even humans have miserable days.............

Has anyone ever seen a cat when it is miserable? The ears will be flat, the body hunched and the expression morose. Yes, all you cat lovers out there......you will recognise this picture, especially if your cat is stuck out in the rain (unless your cat is like Ceepha who loved rain!). Sometimes I wish my ears would go flat when I am feeling out of sorts! Dear oh dear what an image, I ask you, ha ha? Still, hopefully you know what I mean? Actually, when you are feeling like that, everything around you seems to be the same. Oh yes, that pouring rain is miserable. Indeed, that 'did fancy but have now decided you don't want it' packet of crisps' is miserable. The fact it is freezing cold in spring is very miserable. A grumpy husband is miserable. The cat sitting on your net book while you try to type is miserable. Oh heck everything is miserable!!!! I had a day like that recently and just wanted to shut myself away and hide. I didn't feel that way for any reason I could see. I just woke up miserable. What can I say? Good grief, I must have had a miserable dream??
On the plus side I also have days where everything is fantastic. Hey that sun beam kissing your skin is fantastic.Yes that 'just had to have a piece of scrumptious looking cake' is fantastic. The fact it is just like the middle of summer in early spring is fantastic. A wonderful husband surprising you with flowers is fantastic. Ripley cat snuggled up in your arms, purring loudly with happiness, is fantastic. Oh yes the whole wide world is fantastic!!
Why is it that our mood can reflect on what we perceive around us? Does a miserable mood cloud our view of what is happening? Does a happy mood mean everything goes well all day? Is this a case of positive attitude verses negative attitude? In fact are humans the only ones that this happens do? Do cats have positive moods? Well actually they must do, as sometimes my cats race around like the whole world is the most amazing place, and even chasing the wind is fun to do. I wonder if they actively act this way or is it a reactive instinctive trait? I mean how do cats know when they are miserable? Do their ears automatically go down? Why don't mine, ha ha?
Oh dear this blog is getting rather silly today, but still what fun! I can't recall the last time I have used so many exclamation marks and question marks. Hey ho, today is a fantastic day...........
