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

"Cat Person Profile Quiz"
Submitted by Amiee Amarral, (Taunton, Massachusettes)
Is your devotion to your cat and "cat things" in the training stage, at a
moderate level, or extreme? Or are you an all out shameless "cat-a- holic?"
Let's just see how you rate as a "cat person," shall we? See how many of these
can you give an HONEST "yes" answer to:
v
Can you meow so well that you can fake out your cats?
v
Have you ever called your husband/wife by the cat's name by
mistake?
v
Do you think of your cats as the "furry kids?"
v
Did you ever decide to buy a house or rent an apartment based
solely on the potential spot for the litter box?
v
Do you think cat hair in your food is a good source of protein?
v
Last Christmas/Hanukkah, did you spend more money on cat toys than
you did on gifts for the kids or grandkids?
v
Are you at a loss as to how to talk to people who don't own any
cats?
v
Does your wallet contain more photos of your cats than your kids
or grandkids?
v
Have you often slept on the very edge of the bed so that you won't
disturb the cat who's sleeping in the very middle?
v
Do you leave messages for the kitty on the answering machine?
v
Have you ever invited a guest to sit down by patting the seat and
making that noise with your pursed lips?
v
Does your answering machine have the cat meowing on the outgoing
message?
v
When you go to the bathroom do you think of it as "using the
litter box"?
v
Have you made a habit of setting a place at the table for the
kitty?
v
Do you know your cat's birthday (or if not, have made a good
guess) and have a birthday party to celebrate?
v
When your husband/wife gives you the ultimatum, "OK, it's me or
the cat," you don't hesitate for even one second.
v
Do your neighbours talk about you as "the nut with all the cats?"
How many did you answer "yes"
to? I think just answering one with a "yes" is enough to qualify you as a "Cat
Person." But the number of yes answers determines the degree.
"Your "Cat-ability"
Score"
v
1 to 4 yes answers: In training - you could do better, but it's
OK, you're learning.
v
5 to 8 yes answers: Moderate - working on it, improving nicely.
Potential is there.
v
9 to 13 yes answers: Extreme - just about there, almost mastered
the art. Keep stretching yourself.
v
14 to 17 yes answers: Totally possessed, hopelessly devoted,
cat-a-holic. Congratulations! (But you'll find no 12 step program here!)

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 |
