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

Cats take a message and get back to you.'
'Of course, every cat

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

My Tough Little
Girl - Tuffy
"I love cats because I love my home;
And after a while, they become its visible soul."
Jean Cocteau
I’ll never forget the day I found her
Living in a deep dark damp crawl space
Under the old government office building
She was far too thin
She had a nasty eye infection
She was filthy and covered with parasites
And she had the saddest face I had ever seen
So I gently picked her up
And took her to my vet’s office
Where in total fear for her life
She bit and scratched everyone there
“You’ve got a real tough one here!” yelled the vet
As he tried to calm and medicate her
And soon this tough little crawl space feral
Became our beloved ‘Tuffy’
Her favourite pastime was sprawling out
In the sun in our bedroom bay window
Where she either enjoyed long leisurely naps
Or pursued her beloved hobby of bird watching
And my tough little girl was a very good student
Soon she was able to imitate almost any call
Of any bird that happened to perch outside our door
And soon she truly delighted in tricking all of us
She would find a deep dark corner to hide in
And devilishly practice her amazing bird chirps
And I would often laugh hysterically
As the dogs and cats rushed off in hot pursuit
Convinced a robin or a sparrow or a chickadee
Had invaded a closet or a bathroom or my den
And she would very proudly grin at them
When they discovered it was her not a bird
Tuffy also loved studying me for some reason
And very stealthily following me all around the house
Watching my every move - observing me at the computer
And I’ve always wondered what she thought of me
As she so passionately did her diligent homework
My very intelligent and tough little girl
Was also fascinated with our television set
She would camp out in front of it in the evening for
hours
Mesmerized by the sights and sounds unfolding before
her
She especially loved nature programs which featured
birds
My tough little girl
Who I loved immensely
Who brought me so much joy
Who taught me so many lessons
Got terribly sick a few days ago
And died in my arms yesterday
Working at my computer
And watching television
And walking about the house
Will never be the same for me now
My every day life will never be the same for me now
Without my tough little girl gracing it with her
presence
My world gets sadder and sadder
I lost my tough little girl yesterday
I wept as she died in my arms
I can’t believe she’s gone away

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
