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

FOR EVERY CAT
AN ANGEL written and illustrated by Christine Davis is a sweet little book
which can be read in one sitting. Christine sent me this book when my beloved
Garfield found a sunbeam to nap on two years ago and at first, even though it is
a slim volume, I couldn’t bring myself to read it. When I did finally sit down
to read it, I wished that I had read it earlier because it was very comforting.
 Christine’s
illustrations are very colourful and simple. That the cat in the story is a
ginger tabby made it more special to me as most of you who remember Garfield
will know he was a big, beautiful, majestic ginger boy!
The story line is
also simple and could be read aloud to a child, or they could read it for
themselves, however, anyone of any age can read it and enjoy it and feel
comforted.
The basic message
is that the cat that chooses you as their forever person will be waiting for you
when it’s your turn to move onward and you will be united once again, forever.
Although the
message is simplistic, it is profound and will comfort all those who grieve for
the loss of their cat. One of my favourite illustrations is captioned: ‘They
will bring each other gifts for no reason at all’ and shows a woman giving a
planter of catnip to the cat, while he, in turn, is giving her a mouse.
The opening page
begins: ‘Whenever a kitten is born on earth a guardian angel waits nearby to
welcome the kitten into the world and take it under her heavenly wings.’
On each of the
full page illustrations, the angel is shown somewhere in the picture – hiding in
a tree perhaps. This is one way of saying that ALL our pets have a guardian
angel watching over them. I find that a wonderful concept and worth holding on
to.
You can get
Christine’s book direct from her website at
www.lightheartedpress.com. You can email her on
davis@lightheartedpress.com or you can order a copy by writing to:

The book costs
$9.95 and $4.00 for postage.

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
