A morning kiss, a discreet
touch of his nose landing
somewhere on the middle

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

Creating our own
reality, with help from the Great Cat…
 Last
time I told you our house move was guaranteed before Xmas? Well, perhaps I
didn’t take the Great Cat into account! He’s got us down for late January/early
February.
This new house is very near a
few woods, it’s in a cul-de-sac, has a largish garden, is even further away from
the main road, and has plenty of places to hide. I’ve discovered there are a few
other cats around [next door have two], so I’m in training now for some facing
down.
Our keepers had advice from a
clairvoyant about our new house’s suitability, and she gives it the thumbs up.
As ever, my world is in a state
of flux. I’ve hardly bothered chasing Max lately; I don’t know what’s come over
me.
You see I reckon I can do pretty
much [subject to my size, inability to open locked doors and take the tops off
bottles] anything I want, so this creating our reality/Great Cat nonsense used
to leave me cold.
I suppose I’ve realised now if I
could ‘manifest’ a heap of cat food, ate the lot and keeled over, it wouldn’t be
very responsible would it? And suppose all the cats in the area did it too? I
might be Top Cat, but if I create my reality, then so must they, even
though their reality is not quite as good as mine! My keepers wouldn’t be too
happy either, as Jack keeps telling people I’m him in feline form, and I don’t
think he has any plans to eat a skip of mushroom samber and drink gallons of
Cobra lager.
There seems to be an invisible
field which affects our thoughts and actions, which stops us going down the
gastro-suicide route.
I know when my keepers are
coming home long before their car comes over the bridge, and so does Max, who
also knows when I’m asleep.
Wouldn’t life be very boring
[eventually] if it was all down to us? I hate to admit it, but little surprises
do keep us active. We cats are better than you lot at learning from our close
encounters, and we already know the meaning of life, so we don’t need to keep
burning our paws on hot stoves to re-discover it!
Yes, the Great Cat has a plan
for us all. But as we are all scaled-down versions of the GC, we have free will.
I’m glad my will isn’t completely free, otherwise the woods would be a bird and
rabbit-free zone. Now, was that my inner Great Cat talking or me?
The next time you hear from me
will be when I tell you how the five of us coped with moving. This time the
Great Cat has given it his personal backing.
Jimmy, January 2007.

keeper, Jack Stewart MSc©

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
