Because his long white

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

FLU AND
FELINE FROLICS
by Pauline Dewberry
Feeling better and
a general summing up of their part in my recovery the cats get back to
normal life on my return to work.

CHAPTER FOUR
After a week or so, I began to feel much
better. I told Biggles, Charlie and Garfield that I was going back to work. They
looked at each other in dismay. They like having me at home to snuggle up to,
like a giant hot water bottle. They are fed on demand, and I give them sweeties.
But they rallied round and prepared themselves for the old routine where the day
begins at 6.00am with breakfast, and ends at 7.00pm when they meet me in the
hallway, ready for part one of their dinner, part two being served for supper at
11.00pm.
Garfield sat on the back of the settee looking
out of the window on the morning I left for the office. He looked relieved that
I had come through this bout of flu with little or no interruption to his
working day. He breathed a sigh of relief. I had been a tough patient, but he
had pulled me through, able assisted by his right-pawed man, Biggles and the
comedic antics of Charlie. He watched me until I had gone from view, then he
sighed as he found his favourite cushions. Giving himself a leisurely wash, he
thought about the events of the past week or so. It had been a close shave, he
decided, as he curled himself round into a ball, nose meeting tail.
Charlie had picked Spud up and carried him to
the sofa next to where Garfield was sleeping. He gave Spud a quick wash before
having a more thorough wash himself and he, too, curled up, his paws
protectively around Spud.
Biggles, meanwhile, was already asleep. He had
opened the bottom drawer in my bedroom where I keep my best jumpers. He turfed
out the two jumpers that he didn't like; red didn't suit him and the grey was
scratchy. He kneaded on a soft lemon lambs wool for a few moments before he,
too, curled up in a ball and gave himself up to his dreams. He was also glad
that I had gone back to work and the house was back to some normality. It's a
huge responsibility being a locum and he was relieved that Garfield had taken
charge of the situation. After all, Garfield was more qualified, he liked to
watch medical dramas like 'ER', 'Chicago Hope' and 'Casualty.' He wondered
briefly if I was all right. He knew I had coughed quite a bit during the night,
but soon my image blurred with his dreams of fish and birds as he played in a
wonderland known only to cats. He was still there when I got home from work,
twelve hours later.

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
