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

CAT WITH TWO NAMES
by Sandy Edmunson
He came to live with us from the local humane shelter after being found in a
tree at a nearby camping area.
Obviously something made him run
up that tree but we'll never know what. In spite of his ordeal he was the
calmest young feline I had ever met! I adopted "Gibson" and took him home to
live with our 15-year-old Manx cat, Charlie.
A couple of months later, I
adopted Max. When I brought him home I presented him to Gibson who promptly
started cleaning him! They were inseparable all through their kittenhood.
I volunteer at the shelter where
I had adopted Gibson, taking pictures of new potential kitty adoptees. Needless
to say, I couldn't resist adopting several more so Bob and Red came to live with
us.
As each new addition to our family was
presented to Gibson, he cleaned them just as he had Max.
While the kittens were babies,
Gibson stayed fairly close to home.
But then we began to notice he
would leave for a day or so, and then return to eat or take a nap in the sun by
the window. His absences increased and it was time for me to find out just
where he was going!
A retired couple lives next door
to us -- a very well respected dentist and his wife, a former school teacher and
avid gardener.
I called and asked if they had an
orange striped kitty "adopt them."
The retired dentist's answer was
yes. He then explained to me that his wife has Alzheimer's and that "Nonami,"
as they had named him, was her constant companion. He said his wife would sit
by the hour stroking the cat and that he slept with her at night.
His tone then became sombre as he
asked what I wanted to do about the situation. As I blinked back tears, I told
him that I just wanted to make sure Gibson was happy. He said no cat could be
more loved.
I asked to come visit him that evening
and he said absolutely!
I realized Gibson had fulfilled
his caretaker mission at our house with the kittens and was now fulfilling
another more important role.
I am so very proud of my very
special cat. He sensed this special lady's needs and did his best to fulfill
them.
Oh, and I found out what "Nonami"
means -- "no name" only with a Japanese twist!

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.
