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

STEVIE
by Lenora in North
Dakota, USA
Thought you would
like to know about Stevie, a 4 and a half year old black cat. He is my cat. I mean, we have 7 in the
house, but you know how they each pick on one or other to be with the special
human.
Well, I tamed this
fellow. He was wild, and I mean wild. He was part of the gang that we have
outside. Comes to be fed and will watch you, but don’t touch.
He was hurt and I
grabbed him up and put him in the house real quick in a single room. Then I got
the cage and took him to the vet. When I got him back, I had to isolate him in
a room. That meant several times a day I had to go in and clean the litter box
and give him food and water. It took time, but I tamed him. But then, he was
going to be with me and me only. This last year he has become friendly with my
husband Al, as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to tell you
what Stevie did this afternoon. He is my cat and
goes were ever I am and usually sleeps with me. Now
that it is so hot he will sleep under the foot of the bed and I have to watch
when I get up because often his tail or hind foot is sticking out as he is one
of these cats that does a lot of rolling about.
Any way when I
went upstairs this afternoon to have a quick little wash up, he jumped in the
bath tub. Now we have a very old fashioned cast iron tub that is, of course,
covered in nice cool white enamel. The tub also sits
directly under the window and the window comes almost to the edge of the
tub and is a big window. I have the window open as far as it will open and a
nice breeze was coming in. Now with the way the tub sits and the window and the
breeze I am sure the breeze rather circulates around in there and the tub being
up on a pedestal and lined with nice cool enamel he spends a lot of time in
there what with the heat and all.
Well I put the
bath mat on the floor and was talking to him and asking him to get out so I
could bathe. I wanted to put the rubber mat in the tub but he just looked at me
as if to say go away, or perhaps it was join me? Well I put the stopper down and
turned the cold water on - it only trickles up there for some reason, Al has
gotten some parts and will try to fix it. So now there is cold water starting to
trickle into the tub and he is just laying there looking at it. As it starts to
get near him he sits up and goes to investigate. First he sniffs, then he
starts patting it with first one foot then the other and he keeps patting at it
and backing up until his rear end is going up the slope of the back of the
tub.
I
put the hot water on, not high, but a little so the water is not real cold for
my bath. He finally turns around and I think he is
going to get out, but no - he sits down and is now part way in the water and
just keeps patting at the water. He is finally
sitting all the way in the water and then takes a final pat at the water, stands
up, stretches and reluctantly jumps out and lays down on the floor and looks at
me as if I were some kind of mean person. I did have a quick wash up and let the
water out and after I was dry and dressed I picked him up and put him back in
the tub where it was a little damp but cool.
So that is the
kind of thing I have to put up with from my special fur-child.

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 |
