This week I wanted to share with you another 5 tips and life lessons I have learned living with my cat Tika.
1. Keep learning.

Make room every day to learn something new. Learning is a long-distance race, not a sprint.
2. Drink water.

Staying hydrated will help you to prevent headaches. Don’t forget to keep hydrated throughout the day.
3. Go out and explore.

Worth-telling stories rarely happen at work. Go out, travel and live.
4. Take time to unwind.

We all need to pamper ourselves from time to time. It is good for your mental health.
5. Practice sport.

Countless are the benefits of doing some sport. The ancients used to say mens sana in corpore sano. Yoga, Calisthenics, Pilates… choose one and practice it regularly.

The latest from Valhalla Cats and things I found interesting this week:
- This week I bring several recommendations from Valhalla Cats’ cat book channel on Discord.
The first one is Junji Ito’s Cat Diary: Yon & Mu, an autobiographical manga that draws on manga artist Junji Ito’s personal experience with cats. It features various anecdotes about living with cats, which center on J-kun, a horror manga artist (Ito’s stand-in); his fiancée, A-ko (his wife Ayako Ishiguro’s stand-in); her family cat, Yon (“Four”); and a Norwegian Forest cat, Mu (“Six”). - The second is a Warrior Cats graphic novel! It is the very first graphic adaptation of The Prophecies Begin novels and it hits shelves in July 2024. Illustrated by Natalie Riess and Sara Goetter, this adaptation brings the original story arc to life like never before and we’re super-excited to show you the cover. Thanks SmolQuoll and Toni Antonio for sharing these books with us!
- Another interesting recommendation is a cat game that many have been waiting for a long time: Little Kitty Big City. Available from today on all platforms. Are you guys planning on playing it?
Thank you for your time. I hope you enjoyed the read.
Have a wonderful day,
Jose
