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

The cat came back – 18 years later!!
Imagine what must go through your mind when your cat goes missing after a major
incident in your home. And although you search the streets, ask in all the
rehoming centres, put up posters, advertise on radio and in newspapers, there is
no sign of him - what then? You reluctantly accept what looks to be the obvious
answer and get on with your life. Read on for an amazing story of a cat reunited
with its owner after an astonishing 18 years!

WINNIPEG - A Manitoba woman is
celebrating the return of her lost cat 18 years after the pet first disappeared.
"It's a miracle. There's no words to
describe it," said Leslie Dumas, who had last seen her pet kitty Seagull in
1986. "It's just...I needed him and he needed me."
Seagull had gone missing following a
house fire in Selkirk, located about 34 kilometres north of Winnipeg, when the
cat was one year old.
"We had a house fire, and we had
moved, and somebody let the cats out and both cats went missing," Dumas
recalled.
Recently, a dehydrated and
malnourished black cat was found wandering around the East Kildonan area of
Winnipeg. A stranger brought him to the Winnipeg Humane Society.
The identification tattoo in the
cat's ear was still legible enough for the society to find the Dumas family.
Dumas said she was puzzled when her
father told her the Winnipeg Humane Society had called, asking her to get in
touch with them.
"I phoned them, and they said, 'We
have your cat,'" said Dumas, who still lives in Selkirk.
"I said, 'What cat?'"
Dumas said she had to think back
almost 20 years to 1986, when she was 22 years old.
"I said to the vet, 'This can't be.
He looks like Seagull, but how can this be?' He just said it has to be, because
of the tags."
Seagull, who is going on 20, has
cataracts and poor vision.
Seagull will be the guest of honour
at a benefit for the Winnipeg Humane Society on Friday.

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
