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

The 'Mews' Team
Pauline Dewberry, the editor of the Daily
Mews, is currently
owned by 3 cats, 2 gingers and 1 sleek black smoothie, having lost her beloved
20 year old cat, Garfield, in June 2006 and Ricky in July 2007,
who was possibly about 14 years old. In March 2009 Timmy left to be with
Garfield and the other Mewsers. She has left their bios in place
because they were such a special cats.
In return for cooking
them gourmet meals and carrying out light domestic duties she is allowed to rent
a room in their home. When they watch TV they often allow her to join them as
her lap provides additional seating. Pauline is quoted: 'Cats don't criticise
your cooking and don't tell you you're overweight. They just smile
sympathetically and hide the chocolates!'
Garfield
27.03.86 - 12.06.06
My name is Garfield and at 20 I have seen quite a lot in my life. I am poised
ready at the computer to answer any questions, queries, doubts and worries you
may have. I was named after Garfield, the greatest Ginger Cat ever - I, of
course, am the 2nd greatest Ginger Cat ever! I did have a brilliant brother,
called Biggles, but he died when he was 11. It took me a while to get over that,
let me tell you.
Charlie 8.10.93 - 28.06.03
My first name was Tigger but when I arrived
at the Daily Mews Mansion I was quite a naughty little kitten; Mum said I was a
right Charlie - and that became my name. Garfield mentored me and I grew up into
a nice boy and when Billy, Timmy and Joey came to live with us, it was my job to
mentor them. I taught them everything I know.
Billy and (Timmy -
August 1996 - March 2009)
I'm Billy and Timmy was my brother and I will be 13 on 5th August. Charlie was our mentor when we came to live here at
the Daily Mews Mansion. We had a brother, called Joey, but sadly he lives with
Garfield, his brother, Biggles, and our littlest friend, Ellie, at Rainbow Bridge and
now Charlie, Ricky and Timmy have joined them.
Charlie taught us everything we needed to know - like how to pee on next-door's
potatoes, how to hide from 'Mum' if we didn't feel like coming in and general
stuff like that.
Sam
My name is Sam - I was 12 in February and I used to live next-door-but-one. I decided I
wanted to come and live with this nice lady and all her lovely Ginger cats
because I liked how they all played and interacted with each other. Plus they
had some pretty neat toy mice and other things. You can ask me anything you like
- I'm a fairly well adjusted Black cat in an all Ginger cat environment - I
don't feel marginalised - I know I am loved for who I am, not what I am!
Ricky
10.06.98 -
27.07.07
My name is Ricky and I'm about 14 years old although my birth date is not really
known as I was the subject of a cruelty case. My previous owners thought I
should live in a rabbit hutch - I would have thought that having short pointy
ears would have been a huge clue that I wasn't a rabbit - that, and the fact
that I have a long ginger tail! However, eventually I was rescued after a year
of living all scrunched up. I lived with the Cat's Protection League then for 6
months - it was thought I might not be found a home because I had no teeth - but
that wasn't my fault. Then Pauline came along in June 1998 and it was love at first sight.
She took me home, gave me a new name and loved me. It took me a little while to
start walking properly again but when you're loved as much as I am it feels
great.
And of course, our newest addition Ollie...
Ollie
I will be 7 years old on 1st August. On 23rd December 2002, I was dumped
at the Pet Shop. I came to live here and have really landed on all four paws.
Garfield was the greatest cat in all the world as he was so kind - he knew SHEDLOADS of stuff. I
miss him, Charlie and Ricky now that they're not here but Timmy was a good
friend and we used to play some great games together. I miss Timmy a lot. I have written my diaries of what life is
like living here with the others and I'm trying to get them published at the
moment so that I might be famous one day! <did you just see that pig flying by
...?>

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.
