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

CHANGES AHEAD
by Jimmy
 You
will be pleased to hear I’m now fully recovered and my appetite is back. I’m not
getting any younger though, so no sprinting to the dish. In fact, if my cathismo
can stand the shame, Daisy and Holly often push me out.
My
last piece was about the imminent dawn of the feminine, the transformation of
[human] male energy [fighting, power, ego, politics, war, competition and
stress]. But ‘they’ won’t go without a fight. You have had Swine Flu in 1976,
SARS, Bird Flu, and now Swine Flu again. The world you have created is falling
apart.
Now,
I’m very tempted to sit here and push some mildly amusing guff out. Indeed
having scared my keepers [they even thought I could have been re-joining the
Great Cat] witless, I’m in the mood for some mellow reflection.
But,
there are some things you should know…
We
felines don’t mind the wet; we have been spoiled by years of centrally-heated
pampering. Yet when your weather people come on the TV, they pull faces when
rain is forecast. What would happen to your crops if there was no rain?
Conversely, if it gets ‘too hot’ the weather person’s mush contorts again, and
advises you to ‘cover up.’
Do
you think the Great Cat designed you humans to live in caves? Sunlight is your
greatest friend. Your eyes detect the sun [unless covered by ridiculous sun
glasses] and the skin produces melanin, protecting you from burning. Sun light
produces vitamin D, which stops you getting a whole range of ‘natural’ and
man-made diseases. Indeed I’m told by my Scottish friends that the incidence of
skin cancer in the Hebrides is 10 times that in Mediterranean countries.
Our
purrs heal our tissues, sinews and bones if we get injured. In your crazy world,
we would be told purring is harmful and that we should shut up and dip ourselves
in chemicals. How about a ‘purr muffler’ with volume control?
Did
you know that the gruesome images of tar-filled lungs on your cigarettes has the
opposite effect to that intended? Yes, those clever bar stewards have discovered
that the pictures actually stimulate nicotine craving.
What
would happen if you found out that the very people you elected and trusted to
run your affairs were on the take? That decades ago free energy was discovered,
and electric cars were built [then scrapped] that could run all day for next to
nothing?
Upon
reading this, some of you will conclude that Jimmy has lost the plot. And you
may be right. The combination of antibiotics and cat milk has induced some kind
of euphoria. I’m still dreaming of a world in which we relate to all beings as
one, where there are no divisions between cats based on markings, breed, gender,
keeper income, age, size, having/not having a tail and quality of collar and cat
basket. Plus, many of us are micro-chipped, and soon you will be, and those who
know best will, if you toe the line, have relaxing music transmitted to your
chip.
Whether you believe me or not, changes are ahead. Everyone on earth will take
more responsibility for their lives, or let those who know best become better at
concealment.
If
you see me pictured with a ‘purr muffler’ you might want to protest. Don’t let
your MP charge you for the privilege…
Another Greek island beckons in September!
Jimmy

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.
