A morning kiss, a discreet
touch of his nose landing
somewhere on the middle

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

LETTER FROM GARFIELD

DEAR GARFIELD
First of all I am definitely not of the feline persuasion.
I am a dawg! However, my problem involves one of your own species and I am
hoping you can help me because I am desperate.
Each night my owner takes me for a walk throughout the
neighbourhood. This is how I get some of my exercise although I rather enjoy the
other route by the canal where I can dip my 3 paws into the water. Anyway......I
am getting off track here.
One night we were out walking and as we
passed by this one house I heard this rattling. I looked around but saw nothing
at first. THEN, holy yowsers....... here was this ginger thing creeping along in
the grass.
I stood looking as it got larger and
larger and then my mistress decided it was time to take off. I mean when it
finally stood up here was this big angry looking species and it was stalking ME!
It looked so fierce that I dragged my owner all the way down to the corner to
get away from it. I thought it looked familiar and upon my narrow escape I came
to realize it looked a lot like the two cats I live with only I had never seen
anything look like this before. There were people across the street rolled up
with laughter as this creature stalked me. Fortunately it was on a leash. I
guess those people don't need a guard dog.
Garfield...... is this a natural vocation for your species
and what can I do to prevent it from stalking me? Just wondering.
BREE
the 4 legged 3 pawed Kelpi
HI BREE
First of all, please accept my apologies
on behalf of all the feline species, for the incredible bad manners of this
'ginger' feline. Living in a house of 4 other ginger cats and with a name like
Garfield, I'm sure you'll appreciate that I'm very ginger myself <pawses to
stroke whiskers thoughtfully> and Sam, who is the token non-ginger cat - none of
us would ever dream of doing such a thing.
The fact that this cat was a on a leash
proves that he must be very fierce and not to be trusted, and my only word of
advice to prevent this creature from stalking you again - and to prevent you
from being laughed at - is to tell your mistress to walk in a different
direction.
Some cats do like stalk the canine
persuasion because as you may already know, living as you do with two superior
felines, that we felines have royal ancestry and therefore must be respected and
worshipped at all times. Purrsonally, I've done away with all that royal stuff
and the rest of the MEWSERS have followed suit. Some of you canine guys
can be quite cute, and I'm sure you're one of the cutest, but there are some
really big canines about who frighten the pants off us felines - not that we'd
ever admit it, you understand!
It's good hearing from you Bree - and I
like your name. Thank you for writing. It shows you are in touch with your
feline self in that you can write to a cat website. I hope you'll write again -
maybe you could even write an article about living with two felines - how they
treat you, etc etc. I'm sure it would be a very good read for everyone in the
CAT CHAT section of our website.
Take care Bree and give our love to your
wonderful Mistress.
Love, head butts and purrs
Your friend, GARFIELD

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 |
