Because his long white

'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

BANANAMAN
by Pauline Dewberry
Garfield has a favourite toy that isn’t actually a cat toy. It was originally a
present from my grandson to me and is a banana shaped and coloured ‘thing’ with
its arms interlinked, which held a bottle of bubble bath.
It was put in the toy box and someone, probably
Ollie, hooked it out and Garfield has claimed it. I should, perhaps, explain,
that it is made of yellow towelling in the shape of a banana, with little dangly
legs, and features sewn on for a face. I’ve called it ‘BananaMan’ and if I ask
Garfield if he wants ‘BananaMan’ he automatically looks for it.
BananaMan accompanies us to the vets and stayed with
Garfield when he had to go into the hospital while his blood glucose was being
monitored. He also kept Garfield company when he had surgery in June for the
removal of the tumour and the six bad teeth. At night, when Garfield goes to
bed, BananaMan also lies under Garfield’s front paws. I suppose it’s Garfield’s
‘Linus blanket’!
While washing the various cats’ beds a few weeks ago, I
decided that BananaMan was rather grubby and could probably do with a wash and
brush up. So I plopped him into the wash with Garfield’s bed and when the cycle
was finished I was horrified at the sight that greeted me. BananaMan was half
the man he originally was! There must have been a tiny hole somewhere and all
his insides leaked out into the washing machine. Tiny little foam pieces were
everywhere – everywhere that is, except for where they should have been – inside
BananaMan!!!
I hung him out to dry in the sun and when he was dry I
carefully sewed up the little hole. Later when I gave him to Garfield at bed
time, Garfield put his paws over his friend and looked up at me with surprise as
if to say ‘what’s happened to BananaMan? He’s lost weight!’ As I now feel
guilty, I’m going to see if I can buy some of those little foam pieces to put
back into BananaMan to fill him back up again to restore him to his former
rotund self!
A week later when I was doing some more washing, I was
astonished to see more of BananaMan’s entrails over the washing! And I confess,
that I still haven’t replaced his stuffing!!!

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
