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

'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

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 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

CHRISTOPHER CLAWS
By Ed Kostro
This is a magical Christmas story for young and old,
It’s a delightful little tale that I’ve just been told.
There’s another visitor who works every Christmas night,
To
the animals of the world - he brings true joy and delight.
He’s also a very good friend of old Santa Claus,
His name, I’ve just learned, is old Christopher Claws.
It
seems Santa lives with many creatures at the snowy North Pole,
Some are elves, some are reindeer, and some are very very old.
Santa found Christopher Claws at an animal shelter many many years ago,
Now, on each and every Christmas Eve, in the sled, with Santa, Christopher goes.
While Santa fills the stockings for all the good little girls and boys,
Christopher Claws stuffs other Christmas stockings - with animal toys!
He’s a crafty little fellow – and oh, he’s quite smart,
He
will zip through your house – faster than a dart.
He
looks for your pets – while they sleep tucked in their beds,
And he sprinkles Christmas dreams – in their furry little heads.
He
also knows which pets have been good, and which have been bad,
But his old kitty heart is very mellow; he hates making any animal sad.
So
Christopher Claws usually leaves a tiny present or two,
For even a bad little doggie, who chewed up your shoe.
Both Chris and Santa Claus love all of our animal friends,
And to all of them they send Christmas Love without end.
Your pets may soon spot Chris Claws on this snowy Christmas night,
If
they do, their tiny hearts will soon be filled with excitement and delight!
So
please leave out some homemade snacks for old Santa Claus,
But don’t forget a little catnip cookie for old Christopher Claws.
They both get very hungry as they make their rounds,
They have to visit so many houses and animal pounds.
And don’t forget to buy your pet a little something for Christmas, too,
A
little toy, a little bone, or maybe something very yummy to chew.
And please remember most of all, everyone, wherever you may be,
Be
nice to animals – whether you’re four-years old or ninety-three.
Both Santa and Christopher Claws are Watching You,
But now they’re flying off – and heading for the Zoo.
“Merry Merry Christmas!” Santa shouts, as they dash off into the night,
“HO HO HO!” and “Merry Merry Meow!” adds Chris Claws with delight!

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 |
