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

THE PROMISE OF A RAINBOW
By Annette Maraist
A few years ago my beloved
cat, Crystal, passed on. She was almost thirteen. Crystal was a lovely Siamese
mix. I named her Crystal because of her crystal-blue eyes.
She passed in the middle
of the night, while I was sleeping on the sofa. When I awoke that early morning,
the first thing I saw was my male Siamese mix, Holly, curled up in my arms with
his arms entwined in mine. He knew I was going to need him, for then I
discovered Crystal's still body.
Holly was the light of my
life and my greatest comfort through the grief of missing my Crystal. I
don't know what I would have done without him.
Soon after Crystal had
passed, I was driving in the rain, feeling very sad. I started crying. I looked
to the right of my car. There was an incredible rainbow right there. I could
clearly see where the end touched the ground. And then the rainbow touched the
hood of my car!
At that time, I had never
heard of the poem, "Rainbow Bridge" but soon after seeing my rainbow, I came
across it. [The Rainbow Bridge story tells of a lovely place on the other side
of life where our animal companions wait peacefully for us until we can cross
the bridge together.] Later, I read about other people having extraordinary
experiences with rainbows following the deaths of loved ones.
On the day that the
rainbow touched my car, I knew right away that this was a sign from God, telling
me that Crystal was all right. Ever since I saw that rainbow I have felt better.

Annette sent me a post
script to this story in April 2008:
A month
after my precious sixteen year old Siamese/Domestic shorthair cat, Holly, passed
on, my brother called from North Florida to tell me he saw a beautiful rainbow
and he thought of me. It was 7:45 a.m. A couple of hours later my sister, who
lives close to me in South Florida, called and said that she saw a rainbow by my
home at exactly the same time! I had been praying for a sign that my Holly was
okay.
When I
had my first rainbow experience I knew intuitively that this was a sign from
God. I learned something recently: A friend pointed out to me that the rainbow
is mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 9). The rainbow is God's covenant with Noah.
What astounded me was that the rainbow was God's sign between Himself and all
living creatures of the earth.
A
couple of months ago my Mom's cat passed on. Since I was at work during the day
I didn't arrive at my Mom's home until night-time. I was upset and crying over
Kelli (her cat). Early the next morning I walked outside and lo and behold,
there was a perfect rainbow in the sky!

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 |
