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.

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

THE CAT'S NEW YEAR
RESOLUTIONS!
Submitted by Jena in Texas
My human will never let me eat
her pet hamster, and I am at peace with that.
I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after my human
has finished watching a horror movie.
I will not slurp fish food from the surface of the aquarium.
I must not help myself to Q-tips, and I must certainly not proceed to stuff them
down the sink's drain.
I will not eat large numbers of assorted bugs, then come home and puke them up
so the humans can see that I'm getting plenty of roughage.
I will not lean way over to drink out of the tub, fall in, and then pelt right
for the box of clumping cat litter. (It took FOREVER to get the stuff out of my
fur.)
I will not stand on the bathroom counter, stare down the hall, and growl at
NOTHING after my human has finished watching The X-Files.
I will not use the bathtub to store live mice for late-night snacks.
I will not perch on my human's chest in the middle of the night and stare into
her eyes until she wakes up.
We will not play "Herd of Thundering Wildebeests Stampeding Across the Plains of
the Serengeti" over any humans' bed while they're trying to sleep.
Screaming at the can of food will not make it open itself.
I cannot leap through closed windows to catch birds outside. If I forget this
and bonk my head on the window and fall behind the couch in my attempt, I will
not get up and do the same thing again.
I will not assume the patio door is open when I race outside to chase leaves.
I will not intrude on my human's candle-lit bubble bath and singe my bottom.
I will not stick my paw into any container to see if there is something in it.
If I do, I will not hiss and scratch when my human has to shave me to get the
rubber cement out of my fur.
If I bite the cactus, it will bite back.
When it rains, it will be raining on all sides of the house. It is not necessary
to check every door.
Birds do not come from the bird feeder. I will not knock it down and try to open
it up to get the birds out.
The dog can see me coming when I stalk her. She can see me and will move out of
the way when I pounce, letting me smash into floors and walls. That does not
mean I should take it as a personal insult when my humans sit there and laugh.
I will not play "dead cat on the stairs" while people are trying to bring in
groceries or laundry, or else one of these days, it will really come true.
When the humans play darts, I will not leap into the air and attempt to catch
them.
I will not swat my human's head repeatedly when she's on the family room floor
trying to do sit ups.
When my human is typing at the computer, her forearms are *not* a hammock.
Computer and TV screens do not exist to backlight my lovely tail.
I am a walking static generator. My human doesn't need my help installing a new
board in her computer.

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
