company. Two cats are a conspiracy. Three cats is an attempted takeover.
Four or more cats is a complete coup!

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

MY LIFE COULD
BE THE MESSAGE ...
 Life
is never boring! Poppy’s not well now and they have discovered she has an
over-active thyroid. Not that you would notice. She still has a louder purr than
Ch’Bee, rolls around on her back and seems in love with life.
None of us is sure
whether she wants to return to the Great Cat. You humans influence our
decisions, and up until Poppy met her and my current keepers, she had a pretty
stressful life. She never came into the house and had to dodge a couple of rabid
dogs her previous feeder owned.
You couldn’t even
call him a keeper, because if they went abroad, Poppy was left to fend for
herself. She would lash out at anyone who touched her on her neck, and threw up
at the sight of her feeder when she last saw him.
She is drinking but
not eating, but moves are apaw to sort that one. Despite my status in the
spiritual cat world, if I stopped eating…it doesn’t bear thinking about.
Last week, not only
was my dish empty for few hours, but it was moved. No food, no dish!
Not even anyone else’s dish to raid. I was wobbling, I can tell you. My
faith in the Great Cat was sorely tested.
But not the Great
Cat’s faith in me or you, I hasten to add.
I love hopping over
the fence into next door’s garden. They have a couple of faced-down cats. If me
and Harry get up to tricks, we can implicate them. You cats out there all know
the value of ‘going missing.’
Cats like me, and
hundreds like me around the world hold your civilisation together. We are so
enlightened that we balance out the presence and actions of our more reckless
siblings. But, in truth, cats aren’t the problem, I’m afraid yet again it‘s you
lot.
My snatches of radio
and TV tell me your world gets a little darker, according to your ‘news’ media.
So, we’re in need of some support.
I know many of you
would support me if you could, but lack the knowledge. At its most simple, start
to meditate. Chill out. Read Wayne Dyer, Greg Braden or Deepak Chopra books.
Modesty ought to prevent me from saying model us cats, but it doesn’t.
Like M’catma Gandhi,
make your life the message. But watch your obsession with that dish.
Did you know I’ve
started a Jimmy quality mark? If you like cat gifts and want to find a decent
cattery [if you live in
North Cheshire
that is], go to the ‘products and services’ page. It will expand and expand.
Too much like my
waistline.
Jimmy, [early]

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 |
