So, why can't CATS paint? Is the problem in
the eye of the beholder? Think about it, scientists have been working for
years with the porpoise trying to understand their communication between
themselves and are of the opinion that they have a language, we just have
to learn to understand it. Therefore, why can't CATS
paint.
Think about it!
Two cats were meandering down the street one day when the fluffy
tailed individual turned to a stately Siamese and asked, "Are you Fixed?"
The Siamese gazed at the rather long-haired feline and replied, "I didn't
know I was BROKEN!" ...It's important,
Spay &
Neuter your pets to insure there are no unwanted kittens or puppies
that can be mistreated or misused.
A group of kittens is called a kyndyll or kindle, which is derived from the verb KINDLE, meaning "to give birth."
The more quality time you spend with a kitten, the stronger the bond of trust and friendship will grow.
Provide your kitten or cat with her own viewing perch at a window (securely screened in the warm weather). It can be as simple as a soft towel or blanket, or one of the more sophisticated adjustable perches available at pet stores.
Make sure to clear away ample room in your life--and in your heart--for your small friend. You will both benefit from the time spent together.
"Before a cat will condescend
"To treat you as a trusted friend,
Some little token of esteem
Is needed, like a dish of cream."
-T.S. ELIOT

"When the tea is brought
at five o'clock,
And all the neat curtains are
drawn with care,
The little black cat with bright
green eyes
Is suddenly purring there."

Just leads to
Another"

"Two cats can live as cheaply as one,
and their owner has twice as much fun."
-Lloyd Alexander

"When I play with my cat,
who know whether she isn't amusing
herself with me more than
I am with her."
-Montaigne

"Cat Lovers can readily be identified. Their clothes
always look old and well used. Their sheets look like bath towels, and
their bath towels look like a collection of knitting mistakes."
..Eric Gurney

"To assume a cat's asleep is a
a grave mistake.
He can close his eyes and
keep both ears awake."
