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 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

BIGGLES
by Pauline Dewberry
Biggles was Garfield’s brother. He was a beautiful cat, both in
his nature and personality, and in his behaviour. He had four white paws, as if
he’d just stepped into some white paint, and he had white markings on his face,
and his chest. The rest of him was a light coloured ginger – or marmalade.
I can remember many very funny occasions with Biggles –
most of them are written about in stories which are stored in the article
archives section of this website. But one of his great passions was catnip. I’m
sure that had Biggles been a human being, he would have been a longhaired, red
bandana headed, beaded-necklace wearing hippy smoking dope, living in a commune
or kibbutz somewhere.
He was the most affectionate cat I have ever met and would
seek me out for cuddles. He’d sit on my lap with his front paws up either side
of my neck and he’d gaze into my eyes in a most disconcerting way for ages at
times. He most definitely had a sense of humour and was a born giggler, giggling
about the absurdities in life – before heading off to the patch of catnip to
intoxicate himself so that those very absurdities no longer troubled him. Then
he’d giggle because other things would tickle his fancy.
Today, I am writing this in memory of him. He died 8 years
ago this very day on 10th May 1997, at the age of 11 and a couple of
months. Garfield was absolutely devastated – as was I, and Charlie went into a
deep depression.
For a time there was a huge black void – the kind of void
that death creates. But Biggles, being the magnanimous cat that he was would
have frowned at such sorrow and slowly life returned to a different kind of
normality.
Life was never the same without Biggles’ great sense of fun
– but if I know him, then he’s napping on a sunbeam in his own patch of catnip,
giggling away at some nonsensical piece of whimsy.
God bless you Biggles. 27.03.86 - 10.05.97

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.
