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

WHY CATS SPRAY
by Pauline
Dewberry
 The
latest in high technology now sits in pride of place in your living room – the
ultimate HD ready 55” plasma screen television. Bought in time to watch the
World Cup the entire family can – as one – enjoy this amazing experience and
hopefully see England bring home the cup as they did in 1966!
However, one member of the family is less than enthralled with this new
acquisition. He goes up to it and assumes the position. Staring straight ahead
looking at a point on the far horizon, his rear end in front of the interloper,
tail ramrod straight and with a slight quiver, he shoots, he scores – a direct
hit on the new television. He walks off, satisfied. The interloper is now his
property, part of his kingdom.
Cats
grace us with their presence. It’s as if they’ve made a lifelong reservation at
the Ritz Hotel. They accept their surroundings without comment or criticism. You
may have a dubious taste in décor; you may have suspect floral carpeting
throughout – a throwback to when you wore flares and sported a mullet – but your
cat will overlook this fashion faux pas in a forgiving, non-judgemental way.
There
is one criterion though – you cannot change anything. Cats hate change. So be
warned. If you are setting up home make sure it is decorated to a high feline
level of acceptance before actually acquiring your feline. Thus, you’ll avoid
any unwelcome claims from the Mark of Marmalade, the Stamp of Sooty or the Paws
of Pyewacket.
So
why do cats spray over ‘our’ things? To understand that, you need to get down to
cat level and view the world from their perspective, to see things as they see
them.
In
order to look at this complex issue more thoroughly, in the next part of this
article, I will explain why cats mark what they perceive as their territory, and
the different triggers which cause cats to spray. And I will give some solutions
to ensure the cat and his humans can enjoy not only the World Cup, but life in
general for ever more.
