5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED

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

FOSTERING AND QUILTS
by Sheila Fuhrmann (Georgia, USA)
Being the softy that I am I
cried when I read that Garfield passed away. But he had a very happy home. I
loved that he had a helper kitty in his last months. I have really laughed and
cried a lot over the things in the Mewsletter. I do enjoy it very much. I don't
even remember how I was introduced to it but I did pass it on to one of the
woman on my sewing machine fixing group.
I am not a breeder. I
volunteered with a humane society until my health would no longer let me. Now I
make a quilt for them to auction off. I fostered bigger dogs because that's what
nobody else wanted to do. The cats that I have fostered have just appeared
around me. All kittens young enough to bottle feed. Every time I say "no more"
another 2 or 3 show up.
This last group was found in a
junk car that a neighbour brought home. There were 3 and the neighbour had no
clue how to take care of these kittens. They were no more than 3 weeks old and
the people had put them in a crate with tuna and dry cat food.
The babies were covered in
fleas. I took one look at them and said I will take them and care for them. I
think they knew I would since it was a "go look at the kittens" thing. Bath,
vet, bottles, and some happy kittens.
When they were about 6 weeks old
one of the vet techs took 2 of them off my hands and I was left with Sammy who
will go to the people who found him eventually.
My signature includes my web
shots link and in it are pictures of our animals. The dogs and Spike are my
daughters and Hobo is mine. Hobo actually followed me home when he was a kitten
and hung around begging until my daughter said I could keep him. I can't really
say Hobo is mine because he is just here. He is not one of those affectionate
cats but he lets me pet him once in awhile, and every so often he will curl up
with me at nap time.
One thing I have noticed with
cats, they are all very different. I don't think I have found one yet that has
the same personality as another.
Spike is our "you can do almost
anything to "cat.
Hobo. Hmm, he is here and he
allows me to pet him when he says, so no cuddling.
Sammy, my foster kitten, is now
in the "lets see how much havoc I can create "stage. But he is a cuddler and he
has a habit of putting his paws on either side of my nose and nipping. I can't
help laughing.

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 |
