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

'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 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

This next item
comes straight from the desk of Lizzy Janes, the elder of the Janes’ animals.
Lizzy lives in Canada and is the lucky cat of Chris Janes, who is a volunteer at
the Exploits Valley SPCA.*
LIZZY
(Newfoundland, Canada)
Dear Ms. Dewberry,
Chris has told Chipper, Hope, Farley, Abby and myself a lot of stuff about you,
so I really wanted to send you a little letter to tell you how things are going
on this side of the world and how I was so very, very lucky to become a part of
the Janes family.
When I was only about six weeks old, I was brought to the local pet store in
search for a home with my brother, who had white paws and a black body; it kind
of looked like he was wearing a pair of white boots! I was really nervous and
was crying a lot, hoping somebody would want to take me home, though it really
felt as if, 'Boots', as I will call him, was getting ALL of the attention, it
made me very sad.
The next evening a man, a woman and a little boy came along to the pet store.
They were looking at the birds, the fishies and even the geckos, lizards and
spiders. Finally, they managed to get to my cage before leaving, and since
'Boots' got adopted the day before, I was really stressed and I was hoping this
would be my forever family. The little boy was really gentle and seemed to love
me, I loved him back as well, and I knew that this was where I belonged.
The family agreed to take me home, I was put in a small carrying crate, still I
was a bit wary, but felt I was going somewhere safe. Eventually, everything
stopped moving and the door of the crate opened, where the gentle boy took me
into his arms, immediately I felt the love.
Yes, that is my story.
First I was the only animal in the house and it became pretty boring after a
while. Then Mommy and Daddy got me spayed shortly after they got me as I was
eager to get outdoors and experience the wild; catching birds and mice was one
of my strongest abilities. I would bring home the mice and drop them on the back
step and, for some reason, I still can't figure out why Chris was so grossed out
by this.
A few months passed and the Janes' got another cat, Abby, who is a beautiful
calico. Then, they got an Australian Shepherd dog, Hope, who was found in the
woods with a broken pelvis and a litter of pups. In August, Farley, a male
black/white cat was also brought into the family and FINALLY, Chipper the beagle
was brought onto the scene, who still, today is the stalker and is oddly
interested in inspecting the litter boxes, YES, I KNOW, GROSS.
Even though it is hard to get attention around here with all of the action on
the go, I love Chris, Rhonda and Bruce and especially my brothers and sisters
with all of my little feline heart.
Meow,
Lizzy (The Eldest Cat)
aka: Black Beauty since I am an all black beauty :)
P.S Chris says he
really enjoys talking with you and he hopes to stay in touch throughout the
years.

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 |
