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.'

Roseanne Anderson

'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

Ollie's diary is the most adorable thing I've ever read!! I've just found your website today, and I can't stop reading his funny entries. My face hurts from laughing! Thank you for brightening my day. Naomi Harris USA (May 2005)

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

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
