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

Storm's Diaries
by Storm (UK)
Here is an extract from the Storm
Diaries and a couple of cute pictures.
21 Nov 2003
Today I went out in garden for first time with my mate Smokey. He chased me
around for a bit then I hid under the Bar-B-Q. He can't reach me under there.
28 Nov 2003
Took a trip in the moving box today. Found out it is called a car. We went to
the vets. I was in that box with bars so I could watch out of the window as we
went. They took me out and the vet was very nice until he stuck something in my
neck so I bit Dad hard. "It's so you don't catch flu", Dad said. Then the vet
had a look at my back. I have an itchy patch there. "Come back in three weeks
or sooner if it gets worse", he said. Not B..... likely. How long is three weeks
so I know to hide?
6 Dec 2003
Went on a walk on lead to the post box with Dad today. Smokey followed for a
while and I was OK then Smokey went back home so I wanted to too, but Dad wanted
to post a letter so picked me up and carried me the rest of the way. I wanted
to look around on the way so climbed onto Dads shoulder. It's quite fun riding
up there. The children at the school by the post box asked if I was a parrot.
Cheek!
9 Dec 2003
Went out in garden while 'Dad' was building his new shed. Dad thinks I can't
get out of the garden because he has blocked off the gate. Dad pulls me out of
the tree which almost overhangs the garden wall. Nearly made it. Got dirty
paws and made footprints all over the front room floor. I thought they looked
very nice and don't know what all the yelling was for.
10 Dec 2003
I was stuck in my box again today. We went back to the vet. Hey, it's not three
weeks yet is it? The vet had a look at my itchy patch and then did something
very rude with a small tube. I bit dad again. "Temperature is normal", the vet
said. He doesn't know that my temper's not. "Take this cream and put it on
twice a day", he said.
We got home and Dad rubbed my itchy spot for a while.
That was nice but after he stopped it itched even more so I licked it but it did
not taste good but I have to lick it because it itches. Dad kept telling me off
for licking then he grabbed me and took hold of the sweetie box and took out a
piece of cardboard.  Oh good I thought he is giving me a new toy. But he
wrapped it around my neck and taped it together. Dad said it would stop me
licking and he was right. I was so busy trying to get the cardboard off that I
forgot all about my itch. Dad took some pictures of me.
One good thing though, that made
me laugh my socks off -Smokey came in from outside and took one look at me,
howled and took off upstairs. I haven't seen him for a couple of hours now.
11 Dec 2003
Dad still keeps rubbing my itchy spot and then bunging that cardboard round my
neck. Today, though, he said he could not get the cream through my fur so he got
this thing that made a buzzing sound and rubbed it on my back. That was nice,
all vibrating over my back. It was a bit cold after though and when I lick my
back there's no fur! Dad said that was better so it must be ok.
18 Dec 2003 Dad
brought a tree into the front room! And then put sparkly bits all over it but
every time I go near it they shout 'no Storm'. Every time I go past it though I
have a bash at one of the sparkly bits at the bottom 'cause it makes a nice
jingly noise. They have put sparkly bits all over the ceiling too.
20 Dec 2003
Started sleeping downstairs instead of on dad's pillow because it's great fun
when the sparkly things fall down in the night because I can have fun and there
is no one to say 'no Storm'. Smokey joins in too! Then we have a sleep and
about five in the morning me and Smokey chase each other all around the house,
across mum and dad's bed and up and down the stairs. I know it's five o'clock
because dad keeps saying "for goodness sake it's five in the morning go to
blinking sleep" or something like that.
25 Dec 2003
Woooohooo. Lots of lovely coloured paper all over the place for me to play
with! And I got some new toys, so did Smokey. It's great here! It's a cat’s
life.

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 |
