A morning kiss, a discreet

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
28 September 2007
On paw patrol –
puss Tizer is police station’s latest recruit!
A homeless puss
has become the latest police recruit after being adopted by staff at a British
Transport Police station.
Tizer – or PC
Tizer as he is now known – has moved into his new home at the station in
London’s Kings Cross after previously being cared for by the charity, Cats
Protection.
Whilst his human
counterparts pound the beat outside the station, PC Tizer will be responsible
for patrolling the building to keep it free of rodents.
The 13-year-old
tabby has free access to all parts of the three-storey building including the
debriefing room, mess room and reception area – and shares an office with a
senior officer.
PC Tizer came into
Cats Protection’s North London adoption centre after his previous owner died and
soon caught the eye of the long arm of the law.
Inspector Roy
Sloane, of British Transport Police, was the police officer responsible for
enlisting Tizer into his new role as Chief Mouser at the police station.
Cats Protection
Adoption Centre Acting Deputy Manager Alex Davies explained: “It may not be the
typical home, but PC Tizer is such a sociable cat we knew he would like to be in
a bustling environment.
“He loves being
around people, and likes nothing more than playing fetch with his toy spider.
He has obviously charmed the socks off all the officers as he is already very
popular among staff.
“Roy has overall
responsibility for him, but he is spoilt rotten by all the officers. He shares
Roy’s office, so he has got rather a senior position within the station.”
Inspector Sloane
said that since PC Tizer’s arrival, there has been no sign of the previously
large mouse population.
He said: “PC Tizer
is already an essential member of the team. Since we got him we haven’t seen any
mice in the building at all. He doesn’t catch them, but he must be scaring them
away just by being there.
“Prior to his
arrival we were spending a fortune on pest control and it wasn’t really working.
That’s initially why I decided a cat would be a good idea, but then it occurred
to me it would be great for staff morale too.
“Everyone is
always asking after him, and he is probably the most popular member of staff. As
well as being a good boost to morale, he does help de-stress staff on
particularly hectic days, so he definitely earns his keep.
“The station is
manned 24 hours a day, so Tizer gets plenty of fuss and attention. But he also
shares his office with me so he can go in there and unwind when he’s off duty.”

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.
