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

The
Story of Clara – The Cross-eyed Cat
by
Judith Murphy - Canada
Actually I guess the story actually begins with Bluey. Blue arrived on the scene
when we weren’t really looking for a new head of the household.
We
had found him in a little market in Western Australia. He was all alone in his
cage and when my husband spoke to him he stayed very quietly in the litter box
that was placed in the back of the cage. As soon as I looked though, he trotted
right over to me (of course). You see I have this flashing neon sign on my
forehead that cats instantly recognize. I should have known what would happen
next. I opened the cage and nestled him into my neck so, of course, I couldn’t
put him BACK into the cage now could I?
Blue
was a wonderful little ginger boy and we spoiled him rotten. However, when he
was just a bit shy of his first birthday he became very ill and we couldn’t seem
to find out what was wrong nor could we do any more than keep him comfortable.
One day on his many visits to the vet, Sam (the Vet) suggested they take more
blood for even more tests. Well Bluey clung to me like a baby and I replied “No,
Blue says he’s had enough!” and we went home.
I was
employed at the time and one Friday morning I had an early appointment at the
office. As usual, I picked Blue up and cuddled him into my neck and shoulder.
When I went to put him down he pushed very hard against me , as though he wanted
me to stay home. How I wish I had because no job was worth what I found when I
got home that night. Blue had walked over to his favourite place to wait for me
and passed on to Rainbow Bridge. I still cry when think of that day five years
ago.
Well
I cried solid for two weeks until I couldn’t stand myself anymore and suggested
to my husband that it would probably be good therapy to visit the local Cat
Haven and “just cuddle” a poor little homeless puss. Enter Clara……….
I am
totally convinced that just before I arrived , Blue, (on his way to Rainbow
Bridge), stopped by Clara’s cage and told her to look up at just the right
moment, because she did and my heart melted. Here was this little moggy sitting
in a cage all by herself, bathing and when she looked up at me her eyes were as
crossed as fingers when one is wanting good luck. You understand, of course, I
was only going to cuddle her so into the cage I went. Clara wouldn’t sit on my
lap but she did enjoy being stroked. I stayed a bit and then left but after a
few rounds of kitty searching, I was back in her cage. Then I went outside and
rang my husband and asked if I could bring a cat home. My request was met with
gales of laughter and a big resounding “NO…..not unless you bring home a calico
to keep her company”. Enter Lily ….

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 |
