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

KITTY
NURSE
by Judy Murphy, Canada
I work as a school crossing guard (lollypop lady) and as a result
am outside in all types of weather. Well recently, I came rushing into the house
to go to the loo, threw my coat off and thought to myself "I'll go downstairs so
that my boots will dry on the carpet as I travel". (I was planning on cleaning
my carpets so was ok with this idea).
Very bad idea for as soon as my foot hit the ceramic flooring in
the bathroom, I was gone. I fell hitting my chin on the porcelain loo and
falling splat. Fortunately I did not knock myself out and could walk even though
I had banged my right knee pretty badly. I made it back upstairs only to be
greeted by Clara my little Aussie moggie.
Now Clara herself is battling feline hyperthyroidism and requires
medication twice daily. This week she stopped eating and I felt she was giving
up on her life as she did not like taking this pill by force. She wanted nothing
to do with the pill pockets. I assure you, Clara is one finicky cat.
Anyway, getting back to the story, I found my way to the
telephone and rang a girlfriend for assistance as I live on my own. I told my
friend how to get into the house and that she would find me on the bed. Clara
followed me everywhere I went. If I stopped to rest, Clara stopped and sat
beside me never taking her eyes off me. I found my way into the bedroom and lay
down. Clara jumped on the bed and lay beside me. Now normally she would curl
into me but this time she lay down facing me but close enough that I could touch
her. As I put my hand out across the bed Clara put her little paw into it. She
never left me until she heard my friend come in. At that point she jumped off
the bed and I could hear her running to the top of the stairs meowing as if to
say "hurry, Mom needs you".
This kitty continued to amaze me even after I returned home from
the hospital a few hours later as I wondered how I would ever get HER meds into
her but the answer came later as I gave the pill to her in a "pill pocket" and
she never even blinked…just ate it. She continues to take them in this same
fashion and continues to sleep curled in to me as my broken arm heals.
That's my little Nurse Clara.

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
