5 GOOD REASONS FOR
HAVING YOUR CAT NEUTERED
DID YOU KNOW... |
Images brought to you
by
'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.' Leonardo da Vinci
'Dogs come when called. Cats take a message and get back to you.'
'Of course, every cat is
really the most beautiful woman in the room.' Edward Verrall Luca, essayist

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.'
'In the
middle of a world that has always been a bit mad, the cat walks with
confidence.'

'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

Cat
Help
DON'T LET LIFE'S TROUBLES GET
YOU (OR YOUR OWNER) DOWN - LET US HELP YOU
INTRODUCING THE FELINE TEAM OF EXPERTS who will be on paw to answer
any queries you may have
GARFIELD: Although Garfield doesn’t hold any degrees like a PhD or a
B.A. he is qualified to answer any feline questions on account of having almost
20 years experience of being a cat. Which – in anyone’s book – is a good
qualification. He is an excellent bereavement counsellor having first-paw
knowledge of bereavement. Educational matters and behavioural aspects are also
his forte. Click
here to
submit a question to Garfield. (Please indicate the expert whom you would like
to answer in the message).
To experience Garfield's wisdom for previous problems go to his page.
Sadly, Garfield passed away on June 12 2006,
having reached his 20th birthday in March. He has passed the benefit of his
enormous wisdom (he knew SHEDLOADS of stuff) to the rest of the Daily Mewsers.
Like Charlie, he too, is very sadly missed.
CHARLIE: Passed out with Honours from the Garfield Institute of Feline
Training (G.I.F.T.) He set up his own training schools, namely -
Charlie’s Academy of Training Strategies (C.A.T.S) and Charlie’s
Really Advanced Feline Training School (C.R.A.F.T.S.)
Sadly, Charlie passed away very suddenly
June 27 2003, 6 weeks from his 10th birthday. He is greatly missed.
BILLY AND TIMMY: Both passed with Honours from C.R.A.F.T.S.
achieving a Diploma In General Studies (D.I.G.S.). Billy went on to great
things with Billy’s Institute of Regular Dribbling (B.I.R.D.) and Timmy
formed Timmy’s Humble University of Moggy Behaviour (T.H.U.M.B.)
Billy has since diversified into TV censorship and Timmy has specialised in Care
of the Elderly - as he looks after Garfield for much of the day and is his
constant companion.
SAM: An observer from afar, Sam didn’t come up through the ranks but
via a neighbour’s garden. He formed his own unit - Sam’s Mouse And Rat
Troupers (S.M.A.R.T.) which all the cats voluntarily joined.
RICKY: Endured his own private hell as a p.o.w (Puss On Welfare)
when he was taken in by a charitable organisation who rescued him from imminent
death. He doesn’t like to talk about his experiences but is an excellent
listener. He has recently taken up Holistic Health Care and practises yoga
in the garden on warm sunny days.
OLLIE: The 'baby' of the group, was dumped at the local
pet shop on 23rd December 2002. Joined The Daily Mews' team and hasn't looked back.
Is an expert on facial expressions and food obsessions (see
Kitten Diaries for more information).
From time to time there will be guest experts to answer your questions and
the current resident guest at The Daily Mews is Dinkie
To see Dinkie's answers for previous problems go to her page.

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.
Lisa Malone

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 |
