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

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.

have owners. 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

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. Timmy suffered
a blood clot to his groin on 6th March 2009 and sadly had to be put to sleep. As
Garfield's constant companion and a devoted carer to me throughout my months of
bedrest following chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, he is missed beyond
belief. I know that he will once again be lying by Garfield's side, or they'll
be playing in the sunshine with all the other Mewsers who're Napping on a
Sunbeam.
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.
In June 2007 Ricky was diagnosed with lymphoma of the nasal passages and as
there was no cure he was very gently put to sleep. I'm sure he's lying in a
planter in a sunny aspect somewhere where he can keep an eye on things without
moving any of his body parts!

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.
He 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.
A previous paying guest at The Daily Mews was a feisty young female called Dinkie
who now has a new name and a new life with a loving family who appreciate far
more than her original owner did.
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
