Paws, Claws, and Quantum Laws: A Feline Odyssey Through Dimensions

Paws Across Time: 

A Pawthor's Sci-Fi Journey to Healing 

  Time-Traveling Tabby

 Cal Orey, M.A.In a futuristic Lake Tahoe, a novelist grapples with the loss of her senior cat while her new feline companion listens to her unveiling stories of past pets. As the orange tabby feels intimidated by so many big paws to fill, he senses an approaching cosmic event; after his brave actions their bond deepens, transcending time and space. The confident cat time travels into another dimension and sees a secure and bright future. Alas, the short novel told from a creative feline’s perspective is a testament to the healing powers of pets and people.

Q: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE A SCI-FI/FANTASY BOOK WITH A TAGLINE: Paws, Claws, and Quantum Laws: Feline Odyssey Through Dimensions!?

A: The concept of Time-Traveling Tabby is a book featuring a young, fluffy orange tabby cat who was gifted to me, an author, living in South Lake Tahoe. Fate brought us together. When my beloved senior Siamese cat passed, I searched for the perfect chill feline; I adopted Sacramento-based Gatsby—interviewee 202. The narrative explores the journey of the new feline as it struggles to fill the void left by its predecessors while also establishing its own identity. 

Q: YOU’VE HAD CAT COMPANIONS IN THE PAST YEARS NESTLED AMID A CABIN WITH A TOWERING PINE TREES BACKDROP.  WHY DID YOU USE THIS FUTURISTIC SCI-FI-ISH TECHNIQUE TO TELL THE TALE?

A: My link to the South Shore and felines goes back decades. In the short tale, the seasoned scribe shares her past pet relationships with the tabby… Echoes from the ‘70s, 80s, New Century, and into 2025. And then, the cosmic happening is climatic with a resolution of the newly confident feline peeking into the future and discovering his fate.  Using a cat as the narrator and giving him the ability to sense a paranormal event fall into the sci-fi/fantasy genre. I use words like time loop, future shock, and show imaginative images of ghost cats to a spacecraft with a cat inside it. 

Q: THIS BOOK REVEALS LIFE LESSONS. SO, HOW CAN A CAT TEACH READERS ABOUT LIFE’S CHALLENGES?

A: It takes empathy and imagination! Tenacity: The city cat’s determination to find its place in a mountain cabin despite change teaches resilience. Intelligence: The cat’s cleverness in adapting to Tahoe’s seasons and wildlife can inspire readers to think resilience and adaptability. Acceptance: We all experience love and loss and must move forward. Fate and Timing: The idea that everything happens for a reason can provide comfort during difficult times.

Q: ARTISTIC CHOICES: YOU USE BLACK-AND-WHITE ARTWORK AND RHYME STANZAS TO MAKE THE TEXT ENGAGING. WHY? 

A: As a kid, I was a Twilight Zone and Dr. Seuss fan. Using whimsical storytelling is down-to-earth like me, a granola girl in Tahoe, past and present-day.

Q: SO, WHY DOES THE SCI-FI/FANTASY CATEGORY WORK FOR THIS TAHOE TALE INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS LINKED TO THE SHORE?

A: I channel Gatsby to tell the stories of his new owner’s past cats, decade by decade, going back in time. He listens and listens to her fascinating ghost-like feline tales based in Tahoe and faraway, too, shared inside her rustic cabin more than 50 years old, filled with cat paintings and framed photos, cat trees, toys, and a fish aquarium.

Q: WHAT COSMIC EVENT HAPPENS THAT DRASTICALLY CHANGES THE SCRIBE’S CAT CONNECTION?

A: I don’t want to dish a story spoiler, but I will tell you the BIG imminent event comes from a real happening on the South Shore; it inspired me to write this tale of sixth sense, courage, loyalty, and love. The end result: As a devout cat lover, I value the human-animal bond which is healing for the mind and body.

Read Book Review

Creative and celebrated author Cal Orey has compiled a work of poetry, vision, and transcendental life philosophy, encompassing captivating photographs of Gatsby, her orange tabby cat with whom changed her life in, Time-Traveling Tabby: A Journey Through Whiskers and Time. How can a cat travel through time?  That is the essence of this sci-fi fantasy theme, which showcases the wisdom and sensory perceptions of this amazing feline. We all know how extraordinary cats are, being known to predict earthquakes and other events; Gatsby will steal readers’ hearts.

 What struck me through paging this truly unique book is – love.  Only a bond beyond ordinary, between two souls, one human and one feline, can create such emotions, and only through the wordsmithing of Cal Orey can a book such as this be comprised with such heart-felt realizations articulated so beautifully.  The preponderance of photographs showcasing Gatsby lying down next to a clock displaying various times irks one’s imagination as to the meaning of such images. The natural mane of the cat’s forehead has a symbol reminiscent of the letter “M” – mysteriously spurring curiosity in the readers – does it stand for “Meow?”

A bedtime storybook indeed, or better yet a traveling companion, allowing it to be opened and stared at the depth of the pictures and words as if looking up at the star-filled sky at night. This book is a treasure for any personal library or gift.

…“What if I disappoint the penning poetess’ glare?”

A big, ORANGE adventurous tabby with eyes that gleam bright,

Tiger stripes and swirls with an “M” shape on my head,

A soft coat, youthful spirit, with wisdom in sight.

With sunlit beams and windows--a warm sanctuary.

The prose weaver welcomed me with open arms,

Her time machine took me through days legendary.


Tahoe's vitality: genes, arteries & nature

A February focus on cardiovascular health




Cal Orey, M.A.

After a shocking cardiac event in 2023 revealed clogged arteries, my doctors pointed to genetics—thanks, Mom and Dad. Following a successful non-invasive angioplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), I ditched the old ways—butter, ice cream, cheese, and exercising sometimes—and embraced natural methods for arterial health. Now, I’m living by these hardcore tips, and it feels like a game-changer—and sort of nun-like.

News Flash: I’m hardly alone. Genetics account for 40% to 60% of the risk of blocked arteries, or atherosclerosis. This means that while genes place a big role, lifestyle choices also contribute to the risk.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), men aged 45 and over at most risk, and women typically see increased risk after age 55. Approximately 70% of people over age 65 have some form of clogged arteries. But we aren’t powerless. I’m living proof that a clean heart-healthy Mediterranean diet and exercise are two holistic secrets for a happy heart year-round. 

                                             New Ways to Unclog Arteries Naturally

Statins are a popular drug to help heart health, but countless cardio docs also prescribe heart-healthy foods, too. Here’s four favorite superfoods that you may want to add to your diet throughout the day.

  1. Avocados: Rich in monosaturated fats, avocados can help bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). The are also high in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure. Tip: Try avocado on whole grain toast for breakfast or a snack or sliced in a kale salad with a splash of red wine vinegar and olive oil.
  2. Green Tea: It is rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which have been shown to reduce inflammation. The polyphenols in green tea can help lower LDL cholesterol, and potentially reduce plaque buildup in arteries. Tip: Drinking 2-3 cups of green tea daily may provide heart benefits. Lose the sugar.
  3. Garlic: This herb contains allicin, a compound known for its ability to lower blood pressure and improve circulation. It may reduce plaque and enhance overall heart health. Tip: Fresh garlic or dried adds flavor to shellfish and cruciferous vegetables. But note: Consult with a healthcare provider before adding garlic supplements or large amounts of garlic to your diet.
  4. Turmeric: It contains curcumin which can help reduce arterial stiffness, contributing to better blood flow. Adding turmeric to meals or taking curcumin supplements may offer cardiovascular benefits. Tip: Turmeric pairs well with heart-healthy fatty salmon, vegetables, soups, and smoothies.

In a nutshell (yeah, almonds and walnuts in moderation are good for raising your good cholesterol), these natural methods—avocados, green tea, garlic, and turmeric—can be beneficial for supporting arterial health after angioplasty or PCI procedures.

Healing Powers of Pets

 Healing powers of pets

Cal Orey
I know that the human-animal bonding happens at Lake Tahoe as well as around the nation and globe. Also, as a lover of animal films, from Marley &Me to Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, I savor the connection to both dogs and cats on the little screen, big screen and in real life. Sure, as an author I’m known for my popular Healing Powers series touting superfoods and how they can improve our health and well-being. But I also know about the extraordinary healing powers of cats and dogs. Here, take a look at some ways the animal attraction is timeless.

Soulmates with Paws Can Heal 

People on the South Shore—locals and tourists—love dogs and cats. And pet people everywhere will tell you companion animals are affectionate, smart, and loyal—and give unconditional love during the best and worst of times. Here’s the lowdown on how caring for a pet can be one of the best things you do for yourself—and your health.

  • They Help Us Relax. Researchers say dogs can help reduce anxiety and stress by providing “the relaxation response”—in other words, a physiological state of deep rest.
  • Fighting Heart Disease. Canines and felines can help us slow down. In doing so, blood pressure is reduced, which in turn, lowers one’s risk of heart attack or stroke.
  • Boosting Immune System. Devoted dogs and cats can have a positive effect on the immune system by lowering stress hormone levels and raising antibodies that fight off disease.
  • Conquering Loneliness. Not only do dogs keep us calm and healthy, but dog also-human relationships seem to lessen the health-damaging effect of being alone.
  • Staying Active and Happy. Dog walking is also great physical activity for you and your best friend; getting regular exercise helps provide feel-good endorphins.
  • Opening up Communication. Having a four-legged friend around when people visit makes socializing much easier and helps create a friendly atmosphere.
  • Extending Longevity. People who live a long and happy life know about feeling needed—and how a canine and feline companion keeps them going.

Can Pets Leave Paw Prints on Your Soul?

A constant relationship with a beloved pooch and/or feline is fulfilling and good for your heart and soul, too. Read on—and discover amazing ways to enhance the bond with pets throughout our lives.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 1: Tune into your natural attraction to God’s creatures, big and small. Animals help comfort your mind, body, and spirit.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 2: Take time to get to know pets and which type of critter is best suited to be a friend for life. The connection will be stronger if you and an animal are a good fit.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 3: Discover ways to strengthening a bond on different levels with your companion animal—and it will be a two-way street.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 4: Embrace the idea that cats and dogs as well as other animals can sense danger including quake and fire warnings to people with bad intentions and warn you to stay clear of harm’s way.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 5: Get in touch with the amazing ways animals can accomplish feats, from using their homing instinct to making a connection with you in time of need without expecting anything in return.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 6: Stay in touch with your inner spirit and understand that angels come in all forms—both human and animal—to guide and comfort those in physical and psychological need during life’s ups and downs.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 7: Take notice that animal lovers are universal—extraordinary and ordinary people (of all ages). Animals do not care about fame and fortune—it’s about mutual love and respect.

Human-Animal Bond Paw Print 8: Do realize that animals—furry to feathery—can and do get along and coexist in harmony with a little help from their human friends.
