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
Garfield: 28.03.86 - 12.06.06

CHINA, the good little cat
by Laura Dumm
China, the good little cat.
One day, sitting under the bushes in our front yard was a small black
ball of fluff. She was so small she could fit in your hand. At that time we only
had 3 cats, so taking her in was easy. We named her China, fragile and
beautiful.
She grew into a plump friendly good-natured cat that loved to be around people.
At that time our cats were allowed to go outside and all the kids in the
neighbourhood loved her. She would sit with them for as long as they wanted.
Her first job of the house was being the receptionist. She greeted people when
they came over and if the phone would ring she would make a little merp as if
she was answering it. She would make the same merp when someone sneezed as if to
say “Bless You”.
I also called her the little housemother. I could never do housework without her
trying to help. She truly wanted to be involved in whatever was going on.
Everything about her was good. I can’t remember her ever catching a bird,
getting in a fight, or sticking her nose up at what was served for dinner. Even
when I found her nose-to-nose with an opossum and I screamed, she just looked at
me as if to say “everything’s fine.” Of course the opossum took off and I
grabbed her and rushed her inside.
She grew into a beautiful mature lady. Her mane changed to a warm sable brown
that looked like a shawl across her shoulders. She spent her days basking in the
sun and chirping to the birds outside the window. Taking life a little easier,
she still wanted to be with people.
In her golden years she was always waiting in the kitchen first thing in the
morning hoping Gary would sneak her a little of the cream he put in his coffee.
The day would end with her curled up on the couch to watch a little TV before we
headed off to bed where she would occupy the foot.
Two nights before she died I woke up in the middle of the night hearing a
scratching noise. I flipped on the light and looked down the stairs to find her
three quarters of the way up. I picked her up and she spent the rest of the
night sleeping with us. After that she was never out of our sight. Even though
her body was failing her spirit was very strong. It was sheer determination that
she climbed the stairs so she could be with us.
China lived with us for 18 years and now that she’s gone I keep thinking the
same thought - China was a good little cat that just wanted to be part of our
lives, and she was, a big part of our lives.

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
