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

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

LETTER FROM GARFIELD
To be opened on my
passing….
To my dearest Mum
When you open this
letter, I know you will be very sad because it will mean that I am no longer
with you in bodily form. My spirit, that quintessential part that made me what I
am, will live on, I know, in your heart and memories.
I can’t tell you
not to be sad for I know that will be an impossible thing for you, as our lives
have been inexorably entwined these past twenty years, when you first walked
into the Pet Shop and brought Biggles and I home as 8-week-old kittens. Even
then, your innate sense of fairness meant you brought us both home, not leaving
one of us behind to an unknown fate.
I remember your
deep sorrow when Biggles died but you made sure that we all had plenty of
cuddles because we were grieving too, and you knew that we needed to feel secure
despite your pain.
No cat could have
had a more loving person to take care of him; no cat could have asked for more
than you gave me. The last few years of my life were very difficult for me to
live, but you were there for me, giving me insulin when I needed it, baths when
I needed them, and those frequent meals to make sure my glucose levels remained
steady. I remember with a mixture of fondness and embarrassment you accompanying
me up the garden with a torch at night watching me go to the toilet and writing
it in your diary to tell Emma, the next time we went for acupuncture. Only you
would do something like for me.
There would have
been some owners who would not have cared the way that you did for me; they
would have discarded their sick cat out on the streets to fend for itself in its
final moments of life but not you. There would have been those who would have
carted their sick cat to the vet to be euthanized because it would be too much
trouble to look after, but not you.
You fought hard
for me, as did Kevin and Emma, the vets I saw on a regular basis, and you gave
me many more years of happiness than I thought I might have had – had you not
cared for me in the way that you did.
So Mum, I know
reading this letter will be difficult for you. And I know that Timmy will need
lots of cuddles too because he’ll miss me. He’s been such a good friend to me
all these years – I hope that one of the other Daily Mewsers will take care of
him in his twilight years the way he did for me – perhaps Ollie will – knowing
him, he’ll bring him a mouse to play with!!
Remember, that I
haven’t gone far although you can’t see me. I’ll find Biggles, Joey, Ellie,
Charlie and Max and we’ll wait patiently until we’re all together again.
You have been a
Mum in a Million – no cat could ask for more.
With all my love
Garfie

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 |
