5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |

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

SNOOKIE'S SUNBATHING EXPERIENCES
by Snookie (UK)
Having read the article on
CAT CARE IN THE SUN in
the FELINE FITNESS section, Snookie's owner contacted The Daily Mews office to
ask about the sun cream that was mentioned in the article. After she received it
within a few days of ordering it on line, Snookie sent me the following report:
Snookie's
comments:-
Well, folks, it's
been a funny old year. One moment I'm with my Mum in a nice snug, warm,
dark place and the next - I was off to a strange place full of other animals.
Well I wasn't there very long before these 2 strangers came and took me to their
house.
Being what they
call 'open plan', their house has great big windows and this 'patio' thing they
keep going on about. Well, once I got out there it was lovely - with nice cool
paving stones and a narrow strip of garden to play on - but they kept taking me
back inside and saying it was too hot and sunny. Spoilsports. And then they
started producing this awful sun cream.
Eventually, after
a lot of sulking on my part they got the message and let me go out there again
but not before they got this weird sun spray stuff. (Petscreen SPF23,
£9.70).* It smelt a bit funny but it was better than that awful **Toddlers sun
cream they kept using. That sun cream was OK but SO messy.
Anyway, they
sprayed a cloth and dabbed my ears every morning despite my protests and said
it was for my own good. Well, I'm not too keen on getting my lovely ears moist
I can tell you but I had to put up with it to keep them happy. At least it was
only once a day.
Still, it dries
fast and once that was over they left me alone and I got back to doing I do best
- catching beetles and sizing up nice big Wood Pigeons.
Us cats must make
a stand and insist on our freedom! Insist your owner looks after you as well as
mine do and then you are free to hunt and prowl to your hearts content!
Bye for now,
Headbutts and
purrs

PetScreen is a clear
non-toxic spray and the manufacturers say one application should last the whole
day. It dries rapidly and is ‘lick-resistant’
and can be obtained from:
www.petremedies.co.uk
**Note - the
"Sun cream" was Ambre Solaire Toddlers sun milk factor 50 and didn't contain
ammonia but I just tried to lick it off immediately. While not keen on the
spray, I soon forgot about it once applied.

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 |
