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.
JANET F FAURE |
| 'Dogs have owners.
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

THE DISH IS (WILL ALWAYS BE) FULL!!
by
Jimmy
 I
have talked about my latest inspiration, Byron Kittie * in my weekly column. She
has created a process which helps us all rise out of any self-imposed slump. It
is simple to use and is the Great Cat's answer to my last month's request about
belief changing.
Yes,
though I hate to admit it, I’m still not purrfect. However, I’ve known you
humans long enough to
realise
that you mostly learn from gurus and those you place on pedestals.
Another
brilliant teacher is David Squawkins.** Here is a person who probably knows more
about enlightenment than anyone else in the West. His is also very funny. To
paraphrase him, when seeking gurus to follow beware impostors!
I am
the Great Ba’ Ha!
Who
says he is the Great Ba’ Ha?
He
says he
is the Great Ba’ Ha!
And the
Great Ba’ Ha will relieve you instantly of 10 years supply of cat food…
I
digress.
Examine
one of your most destructive thoughts. For example, mine is -
I will always be hungry.
Apply the Byron Kittie formula.
Is it
true
that I
will always be hungry?
For me
it is, but obviously not when my keepers feed me.
Is it
absolutely true?
I’m not
sure.
How do
I live when I believe this thought?
Mostly
OK, but around feeding time, if my dish isn’t full, I have a go at my siblings,
and even my keepers. I slump to become one of Pavlov’s cats. I don’t feel good
about myself, but it ensures I get fed!
Who or
what would I be without this thought?
Better,
but a bit scared. I fear I might become the size of small dog, or lazy, or
complacent. In truth there are times I feel I don’t deserve the great life I
have.
Turn
the thought around. Create three examples which are true or truer than the
original statement.
I
will usually be hungry.
This feels a bit better, and is certainly more true that my first thought. After
all, I survived in a b***** wood for years!
I
will always eat.
Yes, again this is true, but if I’m injured I might not be able to. It is
certainly getting nearer to an absolute truth, but I’ve forgotten about the
Great Cat!
I have
no need to be hungry.
Yes, even though after a few hours, my stomach tells me I should eat, I won’t
die if I don’t. My keepers feed me 100% of the time, albeit sometimes a little
late. If they didn’t, the nearest wood beckons. If, Great Cat forbid, my keepers
didn’t come back, their
neighbours
would feed us, or their family.
Yes,
the reality is, I choose to get narked, and it satisfies another need, that of
facing my siblings down.
How
about that!
Thanks
again to * Byron Kittie [Katie], website
www.thework.com and ** David Squawkins [Hawkins], website
here.
And
eternal thanks to Meale Donald Fisch [

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 |
