'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

Feline stealing gardening gloves of Pelham
By JIM FITZGERALD, Associated
Press Writer
Fri Jul 21, 4:13 AM ET
PELHAM, N.Y. - A pink and white
gardening glove was missing from Jeannine Goche's front porch. But there was
absolutely no mystery about who had taken it.
Willy, the cat who loves gloves,
had struck again.
"It has to be him," Goche said.
"I've heard about him."
As if the gardeners of Pelham
don't have enough to worry about, with the rocky soil and the slugs and the big
trees that cast too much shade, a feline felon has been sneaking into their
backyards and carrying off at least two dozen gardening gloves.
Goche's flower-patterned glove
may soon take its place on the clothesline that's strung across the front fence
at Willy's home in this village just northeast of New York City, which he shares
with Jennifer and Dan Pifer, their 19-month-old son, Hudson, and a mutt named
Peanut Chew.
Above the line is a sign that
says: "Our cat is a glove snatcher. Please take these if yours."
Nine pairs of gardening gloves
and five singles were strung up Thursday morning. Willy, looking innocent, was
playing with a beetle in the driveway and occasionally dashing after Hudson.
"This all started about the time
people began working in their gardens, I guess March or April," Jennifer Pifer
said. "Willy would just show up with a glove, or we'd see them on the front
steps. I guess it's better than if he was bringing home dead birds."
She doesn't know how far Willy
goes to find a glove, but she has learned it takes him two trips to bring home a
matched pair.
Willy, born to a stray last
spring, appears to assemble his collection in daytime raids.
"Mostly it happens on weekends,
I guess when people are out gardening," Pifer said.
John Cassone, who lives and
gardens across the street, said he isn't missing any gloves. He uses "the big,
heavy leather kind" and figures Willy isn't strong enough to drag them away.
Guess again: There's a pair of
the big, heavy leather kind among Willy's trophies.
In winter, when gardening gloves
are hard to find, Willy doesn't become a mitten kitten. His off-season prey is
dirty socks from the laundry room.
Despite his criminal nature,
neighbours get a kick out of Willy. Cassone said the cat likes to accompany the
mailman up and down the block, all the way to each front door.
Since Pifer grows flowers,
vegetables and herbs herself, isn't she tempted to make use of the endless
supply of garden gloves that arrive at her doorstep free, shipping included?
"No," she said. "I do a lot of
gardening but I don't use gloves.

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
