5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |

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

Media release from Cats Protection
16 October 2006
Frederick Warne and Cats Protection join forces to celebrate the
Centenaries of Miss Moppet and Tom Kitten!
Frederick Warne, publisher of Beatrix Potter’s famous children’s
books, has teamed up with the UK’s
largest cat charity, Cats Protection, in order to promote the welfare of
these animals across the country.
With a
combined presence at organised events, literary and animal related shows and
festivals throughout the year, Frederick Warne are delighted to be celebrating
the centenaries of The Tale of Miss Moppet in 2006 and The Tale of Tom
Kitten in 2007, in association with Cats Protection.
Beatrix
Potter’s publisher was founded in 1865 by a bookseller named Frederick
Warne and specialised in illustrated
books. By the mid-twentieth century it was publishing non-fiction such as the
famous Observer series, a mainstay for animal and bird enthusiasts.
Warne’s best-known author is, however, the creator of the world-famous Peter
Rabbit™ books - some of the most enduring and adored children’s books ever
published - and every year, Frederick Warne has celebrated
the Centenary of one of Beatrix Potter’s characters, beginning with The Tale
of Peter Rabbit in 2002.
There
will be a variety of Library, School and Bookshop visits across the country
where Miss Moppet and Tom Kitten will be celebrating their birthdays,
distributing books and delivering posters, stickers and other goodies to
children, as well as visiting the following shows:
The
Cheltenham
Literary Festival
Cheltenham,
13th October
Discover Dogs Show London,
11/12th November
The
Supreme Cat Show
Birmingham,
25th November
The
National Cat Show London,
9th December
Cats
Protection is the UK’s
leading feline welfare charity with over 6000 volunteers, 29 Adoption Centres
and 261 voluntary- run Branches.
With a
long history of conservation and animal welfare work (Beatrix Potter bequeathed
her land to the National Trust, as well as being an avid animal lover) Frederick
Warne is delighted to be working with Cats Protection to promote animal welfare
throughout the UK.

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.
