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.

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

RULES FOR CATS WHO HAVE A HOUSE TO RUN
 ·
DOORS: Do not allow closed doors in any room. To get door opened, stand on
hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to
use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door opened, stand halfway
in and out and think about several things. This is particularly important during
very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito season. Swinging doors are to be
avoided at all costs.
· CHAIRS AND RUGS:
If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly. If you
cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, shag
is acceptable. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so that it
is as long as the human's bare foot.
· BATHROOMS: Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to
do anything -- just sit and stare.
· HAMPERING:
If one of your humans is engaged in some close activity and the
other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping",
otherwise known as "hampering".
Following are the rules for "hampering":
·
When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You
cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and then
picked up and comforted.
· For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book,
unless you can lie across the book itself.
·
For knitting projects or paperwork, lie on the work in the most
appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work or at least the most
important part. Pretend to doze, but every so often reach out and slap the
pencil or knitting needles. The worker may try to distract you; ignore it.
Remember, the aim is to hamper work. Embroidery and needlepoint projects make
great hammocks in spite of what the humans may tell you.
· For people paying bills (monthly activity) or working on income taxes or
Christmas cards (annual activity), keep in mind the aim to hamper! First, sit on
the paper being worked on. When dislodged, watch sadly from the side of the
table. When activity proceeds nicely, roll around on the papers, scattering them
to the best of your ability. After being removed for the second time, push pens,
pencils, and erasers off the table, one at a time.
· When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to jump
on the back of the paper. They love to jump.
· WALKING: As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in
front of the human, especially: on stairs, when they have something in their
arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This will help
their coordination skills.
· BEDTIME: Always sleep on the human at night so s/he cannot move around.

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 |
