Candlelight & Cat Whiskers

Cool air, and a cat’s steady purr. The trick isn’t decorating for Halloween; it’s noticing how your feline finds calm in the same glow that soothes you. Set out a jar candle (soy or LED if tails are curious) and let the light flicker across soft fur and wood grain. Cats have a way of showing us what presence really means — no costumes, no rush, just stillness.

Porch moment: Sit beside your cat for five minutes after dusk. Match their breathing. That’s mindfulness in motion — feline style.
