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

THE SECRET DIARY OF ADRIAN CAT
by
Stuart and Linda Macfarlane
 The
Secret Diary of Adrian Cat by Stuart and
Linda Macfarlane
is a very funny book based on the life of one, Adrian Cat, who lives with his
human family: Trousers, Skirt and Brat. Brat 2 joins the family and occasionally
Wrinkly Skirt comes to visit. There is an elderly neighbour called Grey Fur who
features as well.
Its life from a
cat’s point of view and his observations, both on his humans’ activities and
those of the felines around him – and life in general – are both very insightful
and humorous. Take the ‘delights’ of love for example. Having met the most
beautiful cat in the whole world and fallen head over paws in love with her – he
finds a rough diamond in the form of a free-spirited nomadic stray and then has
a dilemma. Should he commit to a life with Snowball, who is quite vain and only
wants the finer things in life, or should he chance his paw with Gypsy who isn’t
materialistic and just enjoys life from a simplistic point of view? Decisions,
decisions – what’s a poor cat to do?
Adrian writes
something everyday for a whole year beginning with his New Year’s Resolutions
and evaluating them at the end of the year and how he means to go on. I loved
this book. Set in Scotland where the cats are tough and the mice are terrified,
Adrian sometimes strolls through life, but oftentimes bumbles his way along. He
makes various friends across all species as he goes about his daily business
from a little tiny robin to a mouse and a fox. It deals with the thorny issues
of gangs and bullying and of course love. There are various underlying themes
running through the main story which are written well and the reader is carried
along triumphantly on the shoulders of the victors when there are moments of
conflict.
Adrian is a very
likeable cat, with good qualities and I am sure this book will appeal to people
of all ages – anyone who loves cats, in fact!
Stuart and Linda
also wrote Utterly Adorable Cats and a
sweet little book – now out of print but you may be able to hunt it down called
‘The Little Book of Calm for Cats’ which is beautifully illustrated by Erika
Oller.

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
