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
Garfield: 28.03.86 - 12.06.06

A Spiritual Journey to Catmos
by Jimmy
 My
keepers have just come back from the Greek Island of Samos. It’s one of the
Dodecanese, near Turkey, or Asia Minor as the Greeks prefer to call it.
As
for my siblings and I? We had a week in a very nice cattery [see recommended
products and services].
However…
Some of you more enlightened people have heard of remote viewing. It’s the
ability to see in detail all the features of a distant place, be it a few
hundred yards away, or a few thousand miles. Fanciful? Well, the Russians and
the Americans have spent millions on several remote viewing projects, and still
do. Put the term in your search engines and check it out.
So,
guess what I’ve been doing at the cattery? One of the closest islands to Samos,
is the sacred island of Catmos.
On
Catmos, one of our most famous feline spiritual figures [St. Cattos] discovered
the Dish of Revelations nearly 2000 years ago. Thousands of us regularly share
‘the ether’ and imagine the sacred Dish being filled with all sorts of fresh
fish, chicken, rabbit etc. you know how it goes.
And, of course, being spiritually replenished as it were, gives me permission to
indulge in some trivial nonsense by changing my remote view to those two lazy
devils, lying around on Samos.
Aren’t our Greek siblings thin? A few must have modelled me, but the majority
have to fend for themselves. They are a major tourist attraction, save for the
miserable sods that pull their faces and ignore them when eating out.
Our
siblings do get support. Try
http://www.animalcaresamos.com, or my favourite, PAWS [www.paws.gr]. They do
a lot for dogs, as dogs, as we all know, are not quite in our league, but are
all the Great Cat’s creatures.
In
Samos, I noticed several nationalities, Finnish, Dutch, German, Swedish, Czech,
and English. I would say that 80% of the women, over about 30, all had the same
haircut! And here’s me thinking you are individuals.
What also struck me is the number of people who visited that beautiful place,
walking around with faces like my backside. What a miserable bunch! The Great
Cat only knows what they would look like at home. And on the plane coming back,
I watched my keepers sat next to a couple of people who got on the plane a
little worse for wear, then drank four double whiskies each. The plane was awash
with ‘duty free.’
Isn’t that a wonderful term? Free of duty. Duty to be sober, duty to
ensure our fellow creatures’ air isn’t full of carcinogens. So, freedom from it…
If
we all want a better world, then [M’catma Gandhi again I’m afraid], then
shouldn’t we all set an example? If I’m honest, the true meaning of St. Cattos
was not to seduce us catties with a permanently full dish of food, but to
convince us that we live in an abundant world.
We
don’t need to elbow each other aside to eat, to live and to prosper. Since we
came back from the cattery, I’ve hardly hissed at Harry.
No-one expects you all to become St. Cattos overnight, free from vices and
baggage.
I’ve been remote viewing a few other Greek islands, and [he hasn’t a clue what
I’m doing] then I make my observations ‘available’ to my male keeper. And before
I muscled into their lives, I ‘sent’ them to Catmos a few years ago [time is all
relative]. I’ve ‘sent’ them to Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Lesbos. Cats are all
over these islands, needless to say.
Their next ‘choice’ of islands I haven’t decided yet.
And
the point is to spread peace and light, one dish at a time.
Jimmy, September 07.

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 |
