5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |
Images brought to you
by
'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.
JANET F FAURE |
| 'Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff.'
'In the
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

JUDGING BY YOUR APPEARANCE ...
by Jimmy
 One
of my most difficult month's challenges this one. My remote mentor, Meale Donald
Fisch * has again stated the obvious, but as for doing it, or [Great Cat give me
strength] being it, well.
You,
and unfortunately we cats too, live in an era of stimulus overload. When I was a
kitten, all the stimulation I needed was out in the woods and fields. Wildlife,
leaves and things to chase, other cats to mither, face down or avoid. The odd
brain-dead human [forgive me] to run away from.
And,
today additives in drinks and food, radio, TV, games, computers, magazines, and
cat nip keeps us all hyped up. Hyped up for endless discussion about what
might happen. First there is speculation about what might happen.
People and scenarios are pulled to bits and pawed over like gold in stones from
a stream. A favourite scenario is chosen and promoted. Alternative scenarios are
debated. If the chosen scenario comes up, the originator will announce 'You saw
it here first!' If it fails, it is discarded quickly, and the new scenario [and
person] trumpeted. Take the new national feline football team manager, Crabio
Catello.
Crabio
seems like my kind of cat. Strong, determined, not one to show emotions.
Crabio
will be judged to the nth degree. Part of the reason is that his job is about
making judgments. No problem. It becomes one when it gets personal.
Someone [him] has to decide who plays.
You see
when we make judgments [and unfortunately when players are not selected or
dropped it is their reality] we hurt others. And when we do that, communication
is distorted or fails.
So, is
it possible for Crabio to make a judgment ['You're not in the team this time
Felix'] out of love? Of course it is. But will the media let him? How can I
write this column without making judgments?
And
lastly, in case you think harsh, hurtful words have no effect [you wimp], I'll
show you next month exactly how they do!
What
would happen if we no longer ran the world on [negative] judgments?
In
closing, it has been a very hard few months here. First Ch'Bee passed over [it
was expected], then Poppy [a surprise rather than a shock], and Harry went
missing a few weeks ago. We cats know he is still alive, but don't know where
his new home is. We will all welcome him back with open paws.
In the
meantime, I have acquired a little follower, Daisy, and another very timid
[feral] cat, Holly, who is getting stronger by the day, but has a long way to
go. I'll show you a picture of her next month.
Have a
great Catmas & New Year! * Meale Donald Fisch, or his human counterpart, Neale
Donald Walsch

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 |
