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

'Dogs come when called. Cats take a message and get back to you.'

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 have staff.'

'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

WHERE THERE'S SPARKY, THERE IS
TROUBLE!!!
by Helen Dowd, Canada
He is still doing
his little tricks. The minute he hears me in the bathroom or the kitchen, he is
there. He loves to puddle in the sink and "help" me with the vegetables that I
may be peeling. Or, when I change the pet water, which I do several times a day,
he has to be there, putting his paw under the running water. He gets right in
the sink, and if there is water in it, no matter. He doesn't mind. Another great
attraction for him is to watch the toilet flush. When all the stuff has gone,
he puts his paw in to touch the water.
The other night,
just after we had gone to bed, we heard a "splash, splash". I got up to see
what was going on, and there was Sparkle, with his paw, splashing the water out
of the bowel, delighted to see it run across the floor. Scooter was sitting
beside him, watching. After all, it WAS Scooter who taught him what water was,
in the first place. And now BOY does he know! A few days earlier I had
wondered what had happened, when I discovered water all over the floor, and the
pet water dish almost empty. I had thought that maybe one of the cats had
accidentally tipped it. But that is hardly likely, as there is a Styrofoam tray
under the dish. But when I saw Sparkle's antics that night, I realized what
had happened to the water dish.
He still loves to
get a hold of a paper towel or toilet paper roll and riddle it. Where there's
Sparky, there is trouble.
It's a good thing we have five cats and a dog to keep this little time bomb
busy. He wears them all out. It's good for Scooter, as he is a quiet cat and
still just a year. He was beginning to act like a grown-up--until Sparky came
along. Now the two of them tear the house apart. E~Z likes to get in on it
too. And it is so cute to see that Keeper (Grandmother) has taken on the role
of Sparky's mother. She grabs him and puts her arms around him and gives him a
good washing. The two of them curl up together. Or if Keeper can't be found,
Sparky will squeeze in beside Scooter. Do they know they are related?
An
update on Casey:
Casey is not going anywhere. As previously mentioned, Casey was to be given to
our neighbour. But that is not going to happen. Casey is staying in our family

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 |
