5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |
Images brought to you
by
'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.' Leonardo da Vinci
'Dogs come when called. Cats take a message and get back to you.'
'Of course, every cat is
really the most beautiful woman in the room.' Edward Verrall Luca, essayist

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.
JANET F FAURE |
| 'Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff.'
'In the
middle of a world that has always been a bit mad, the cat walks with
confidence.'

'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
Garfield: 28.03.86 - 12.06.06

"Wrapping Presents With A Cat"
Contributed by Amiee Amaral
1. Clear large space on table for wrapping
present.
2. Go to wardrobe and collect bag in which
present is contained, and close door.
3. Open door and remove cat from wardrobe.
4. Go to cupboard and retrieve rolls of wrapping
paper.
5. Go back and remove cat from cupboard.
6. Go to drawer and collect transparent sticky
tape, ribbons, scissors, labels, etc.
7. Lay out present and wrapping materials on
table, to enable wrapping strategy to be formed.
8. Go back to drawer to get string, remove cat
that has been in the drawer since last visit, and collect string.
9. Remove present from bag.
10. Remove cat from bag.
11. Open box to check present, remove cat from
box, replace present.
12. Lay out paper to enable cutting to size.
13. Cut the paper to size, trying to keep the
cutting line straight.
14. Throw away first sheet because cat tried to
chase the scissors and tore paper.
15. Cut second sheet of paper to size by putting
cat in the bag the present came out of.
16. Place present on cut-to-size paper.
17. Lift up edges of paper to seal in present,
wonder why edges now don't reach, and find cat between present and paper. Remove
cat and retry.
18. Place object on paper, to hold in place,
while cutting transparent sticky tape.
19. Spend next 20 minutes carefully trying to
remove transparent sticky tape from cat with pair of nail scissors.
20. Seal paper down with transparent sticky
tape, making corners as neat as possible.
21. Look for roll of ribbon; chase cat down hall
and retrieve ribbon.
22. Try to wrap present with ribbon in a
two-directional turn.
23. Re-roll up ribbon and remove paper that is
now torn, due to cat's enthusiasm in chasing ribbon end.
24. Repeat steps 12-22 until down to last sheet
of paper.
25. Decide to skip steps 12-16 in order to save
time and reduce risk of losing last sheet of paper. Retrieve old cardboard box
that you know is right size for sheet of paper.
26. Put present in box, and tie down with
string.
27. Remove string, open box and remove cat.
28. Put all packing materials in bag with
present and head for lockable room.
29. Once inside room, lock door and start to
re-lay out packing materials.
30. Remove cat from box, unlock door, put cat
outside door, close door and re-lock.
31. Lay out last sheet of paper. (Admittedly
this is difficult in the small area of the toilet, but try your best!)
32. Seal box, wrap with paper and start repairs
by very carefully sealing down tears with transparent sticky tape. Now tie up
with ribbon and decorate with bows to hide worst affected areas.
33. Label, then sit back and admire your
handiwork, congratulating yourself on making good of a bad job.
34. Unlock door, and go to kitchen to make drink
and to feed cat.
35. Spend next 15 minutes looking for cat,
before coming to obvious conclusion.
36. Unwrap present, untie box and remove cat.
37. Retrieve all discarded sheets of wrapping
paper, feed cat and retire to lockable room for last attempt, making certain you
are alone and the door is locked.
38. At time of handing over present smile
sweetly at receiver's face, as they try and hide their contempt at being handed
such a badly wrapped present.
39. Swear to yourself that next year, you will
get the store to wrap the darn thing for you.

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 |
