5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |

'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.' Leonardo da Vinci
'Dogs come when called. Cats take a message and get back to you.'
'Of course, every cat is
really the most beautiful woman in the room.' Edward Verrall Luca, essayist

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 have staff.'

middle of a world that has always been a bit mad, the cat walks with
confidence.'

'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

ENERGY IS GOOD

Well, I’m finally here. Harry
has successfully faced down next door’s cat. Milo has worked out how to get back
into the house [we are all based in the rather large conservatory] when our
keepers go out.
Poppy, who has spent most of her
life outside, appears blissed out on her back on the settee. Ch’Bee just does
her own thing. It’s obvious she isn’t 100%, but then she spent two years at
Bumble Cottage [BC] running the show.
Me? I can’t stop purring, my
coat is like silk, and am even getting to put up with Harry. I was playing
yesterday with a leaf, and he was hiding behind a bucket, ready to jump out to
play. I’m still a grumpy old man, and grumpy old men don’t do playing very well.
So, we stared at each other, I rolled over, kept eye contact, remained stiff and
he trotted off.
Yes, I’m Mr Cool, but last week
temporarily lost it. At Bumble Cottage I had to see them all off [excluding
Ch’Bee-she’s untouchable]. So I chased Poppy. Half-way across the lawn the penny
dropped, but I couldn’t lose face. I’m sure she’ll forgive me.
Our keepers managed us
brilliantly. We spent four days in Blue Grass Cattery [great for a de-stress. We
get a neck massage] during the move period. Then they brought Poppy and myself
out for a day to ‘adjust’ before the other three. As we were last in at BC, they
thought we were more likely to flit.
We got used to the house, and
then all of us were taken out on leads [humiliating, the worst bit]. Anyway it
worked. Poppy did sod off for one night, but came back the next day.
For some strange reason, we all
get on very well. I suppose it’s back to what life’s about. Our dishes are kept
full [not before we went out], our diet is varied [a bit], and we can play
without homicidal maniacs driving past at 60 mph with phones glued to their
ears.
I can reflect, theorise, study
meta-physics and write for the Mewsletter and my own site [www.acatnamedjimmy.com].
You see, energies are different
everywhere. They were very strange at BC, a legacy from the previous occupants.
Most of you haven’t a clue about energies and go on your merry way as if they
didn’t exist, then wonder when things go wrong. What about the seasons?
Nature starts to close down in
autumn, and rest during the winter, ready for re-birth in the spring. So, if you
are going to launch a new project, doesn’t spring make more sense than autumn?
We have our internal body
clocks. Peter at BC could tell the weather from feeling and intuition. He had
spent all his life ‘on the land.’
Your ‘lifestyles’ [why not just
lives?] cause us problems too. If you got into our rhythms, you
would quickly benefit from it.
The energies are good here, and
we will make them even better. I know our keepers are wondering if they
deserve it, but that will soon pass.
Didn’t one of you say you could
change the world with six committed people? How about five chilled out cats?
Jimmy, March 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 |
