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

CHRISTMAS: A GIFT OF MIXED BLESSINGS
By
Lizzie Schiffhorst
 Christmas
brings interesting changes to our home, not all of them bad. Of course, like all
cats, I am suspicious of most changes and so I have mixed feelings about this
holiday.
On
the one paw, I like the music and the colorful decorations. But I am not fond of
the busyness. The lights and ornaments are fun, but I don’t see why a perfectly
good tree would be cut down and brought into the living room, just where I
customarily do some of my most serious rubbing.
There
are at least 49 percent more visitors at this time of year, which means 49
percent fewer naps. Yet I have to admit that most of these visitors are
cat-lovers and so I get some attention from them. My staff - or “family,” as I
should call them - are smart to cultivate such friends, some of whom bring me
toys. Now most of these toys are silly and not worth my time; but a few contain
catnip, which I can never resist.
The
main problem I have with Christmas is that it is supposed to be such a peaceful
time, yet it is anything but peaceful in my home. Not only is furniture moved
but new noises make my morning meditation almost impossible. It can be a
challenge to locate a quiet, sunny spot where I can escape the hustle and bustle
and do what I do best, which is to enjoy the contemplative life.
Another problem with Christmas is that it brings some cooler air, and of course
I like warmth. Why else am I in Florida? Too many days below 60 degrees
Fahrenheit are simply unbearable. Still, the quality of the light in winter as
it pours through the windows is appealing. So, even here, there is a good side
and a bad side.
My
favorite thing are the boxes that arrive since they are often a treat for me,
even when do not offer any appealing aromas. And I can sense a lively spirit in
the air during the holidays. I find myself secretly enjoying the vibrations of
happiness and love that fill the house. So, all in all, I like Christmas more
than I appear to. It takes some getting used to, but the good will helps to
overcome all the inconveniences.

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.
