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

OLLIE'S
GREATEST ADVENTURE
I was exploring the other day
when I came across an amazing sight – it was a huge mountain range capped with
snow. I don’t recall seeing this mountain range before on my explorations and
being a naturally curious cat with kittenish tendencies, I had to find out more.
Without further ado, I began my
ascent. It was hard work climbing up the particular mountain I’d chosen and no
sooner had I got to the top of it, I discovered there were more of them to
climb!
I didn’t let that upset me
because the day was mine. I didn’t have any other pressing engagements or
appointments on my ‘to do’ list so I took a deep breath and began to climb up
the next mountain.
That proved to be somewhat
higher than the first and I was totally exhausted. I decided to find a little
nook to lie down in and take a nap. My eyes were closing and I drifted off to
sleep and all I dreamt about were more mountains to climb – so that when I woke
up, I was still exhausted!
What I hadn’t realised was that
I’d slept for much longer than I meant to and as time was pressing on I decided
that I really had to tackle the next mountain in the range before I needed to be
back home in time for dinner.
Like every true explorer, and
all those pioneers who had gone before me, I took another deep breath and inched
my way up the next mountain. It hadn’t seemed too big at first, but as I
climbed, it began to get steeper and steeper and I despaired of ever reaching
the top – or of getting home in time for my dinner.
Just as I was reaching the
summit, it moved and I was sent tumbling down into the valley. When I looked up,
there was Sam’s face peering down at me with a question mark etched on it. I
wondered how he managed to get inside the mountain because I couldn’t see any
cat flaps on the way. To my great astonishment he just got out of the mountain
and disappeared – just like that – poof! – into thin air.
I was getting pretty spooked by
now and thought I’d better leave mountain climbing for another day – or another
year. Besides, my tummy was telling me it was time for dinner and I could hear
Mum in the kitchen preparing the dishes.
I began the long tiring journey
home by walking through the valley for a while until I came to another set of
mountains. Wearily I started the perilous task of climbing down the steep sides
of the mountains before the darkness set in all around me. I was tired. I was
hungry and dinner seemed a long way off.
Then I came to a plateau and I
meowed with relief. As I jumped down off the edge, I was really happy that Mum
hadn’t made the bed yet and had left the duvet (quilt) all heaped up like that –
it made a great mountain range and next time, I’ll have to find out what magic I
need to get inside it like Sam did!’

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 |
