One cat is company. Two cats are a conspiracy. Three cats is an attempted takeover. Four or more cats is a complete coup!

'Dogs come when called. Cats take a message and get back to you.'

'Of course, every cat is really the most beautiful woman in the room.' Edward Verrall Luca, essayist

 

A morning kiss, a discreet
  touch of his nose landing
  somewhere on the middle
  of my face.
  Because his long white
  whiskers tickled,
  I began every day laughing.

'Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.'

'In the middle of a world that has always been a bit mad, the cat walks with confidence.'

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr ... A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe about ourselves - that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras

"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a noise when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

ANIMAL WELFARE

Despite the many and varied animal programmes on our television screens, highlighting the plight of animal cruelty, it seems to be on the increase. These pages will hopefully add weight to the current situation of animal neglect and abuse by featuring articles by writers in the field of animal rescue.

The aim of these pages is to hopefully educate and increase people's awareness of animal abuse and where possible to notify the relevant authorities to bring action against the abusers.

If you suspect an animal of being neglected or abused in any way please report it at once to the authorities in your town or city. Canvass your local schools to provide educational programmes on how to look after their pets. If you feel able to produce resources, offer to go into schools to speak to the children.

Write to your local newspapers, radio shows, your councillors, or MPs, even the prime ministers or presidents of your own countries. Animals are our companions. They share our living space with us. They provide us with love, comfort, support and companionship, They have rights. They deserve the right to a decent home, with a warm cosy bed, regular nutritious meals, regular interaction with us humans, and regular veterinary treatment when necessary.

They live in our homes, trusting us implicitly. They do not deserve to be beaten, left outside in the cold without shelter or food. They do not deserve to be ignored or left without veterinary treatment when hurt. Just because they cannot speak in our language to us, doesn't mean they are lower in the order of things. They are sentient beings; they feel pain; they feel grief; they can know joy and we have no right to rob them of a decent life.

‘Compassion is most important for happiness. We must treat fellow human beings as equal, that is very important, but also all beings who have capacity for feeling. So the innate desire for happiness that is the basis of human rights extends to all sentient beings, including animals and insects. There are now some individuals and organisations who care about animal rights and are showing concern about the suffering or torture of animals. I have noticed among ordinary people, out of their love and compassion, growing efforts for promotion of vegetarianism. These are the right kinds of expression of compassion, very positive and encouraging signs.’

His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, February 2007 (seen on www.cornwallsvoiceforanimals.org

Testimonials

Ollie's diary is the most adorable thing I've ever read!! I've just found your website today, and I can't stop reading his funny entries. My face hurts from laughing! Thank you for brightening my day. Naomi Harris USA (May 2005)

 

A Cat's Prayer'

Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.

Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.

Lisa Malone

 

PRAISE FOR THE OCTOBER 2005 MEWSLETTER Thank you very much for another wonderful Mewsletter.  I look forward to it each month, and this month was especially fine.  There is enough in it to be able to read at leisure over several days, which sets it apart from many more compact sites, which are finished in a few minutes.  Your Mewsletter is more of a digest, which I can go back to for something new over and over again.  I appreciate very much the work that you put into it, and the contributions of all your feline staff.  Thanks to Ricky, I may even take up yoga. 

All the best from rural Belgium, Jared Kline
