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

5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |
Images brought to you
by
'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.' Leonardo da Vinci
'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.
JANET F FAURE |
| '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
Garfield: 28.03.86 - 12.06.06

NAPPING ON A SUNBEAM
Napping on a Sunbeam conjures up a lovely picture of warmth and
tranquillity. Just the place for a dearly beloved feline friend to spend the
hereafter once they’ve left their earthly home and family.
Coping with the death of our feline friends can be a
traumatic experience, an experience that some never get over and they resolve
never to get another cat. Others have to rush out the very next day to bring
home a new cat – not to replace the one who has just passed away, but to them,
their home feels empty without a feline presence.
For some, the grieving experience may be short, and for
others, it may take a longer time. Rest assured that grief, like grieving for a
human companion, will work itself out and the stages that we each go through on
that journey will vary from person to person, depending on personality and
character. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. You may cry inconsolably
for many months, you may cry for a few minutes – it doesn’t mean you didn’t love
your pet if you don’t cry at all – we all grieve in our own way.
These new pages are to remember the feline companions who
graced our lives and enriched them with their presence, and for whom our lives
are the emptier by their absence – yet Heaven is the richer for their presence.
You can add your sentiments by contacting the Mews Team
(see ‘Contact Us’ or the feedback form) and the memories of your feline friend
will live on forever - on these pages.

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.

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 |
