Cat's motto: No matter what you've done wrong,
always try to make it look like the dog did it.

A tomcat was heard running up and down the
alley for hours. A neighbor called his owner and
asked what was happening. The owner said, "Well,
I had him fixed today, and he's going around
canceling all his engagements."

Phooey On Dogs
I think that I shall never see
A dog as he's supposed to be;
A dog who since he was a pup
Has learned when he should just shut up.
I'm tired of hearing dogs just yap
And wake me when I take a nap.
Those boisterous creatures bark and growl,
Bay at the moon and screech and howl.
They never do a lick of work,
They run around like they're berserk.
They irritate like hordes of gnats.
I wish that dogs were more like cats.
For cats are quiet, sweet, demure
And known for being clean and pure.
But dogs are different, that's the truth
And, more than that, they're just uncouth.

And God Created The Cat
It is reported that the following edition of the Book of Genesis was
discovered in the Dead Seal Scrolls.
And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked
with me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome
here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you
that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love
for you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be,
this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you
as I do, in spite of yourself."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam.
And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged
his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the
animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken and
I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new
animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a
reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and
loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to
the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He
struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy
of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no
one has taught him humility."
And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion
who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The
companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know
that he is not worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat
would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes,
he was reminded that he was not the supreme being.
And Adam learned humility.
And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.
And Cat did not care one way or the other.

The Laws of Cat Physics
Law of Cat Inertia
A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside
force - such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.

A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to
change direction.
Law of Cat Magnetism
All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion
to the darkness of the fabric.

A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.
Law of Cat Sleeping
All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as
uncomfortable for the people involved, and as comfortable as possible for the cat.

If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and
take out something good to eat.

Law of Cat Landing
A cat will always land in the softest place possible; often the mid- section
of an unsuspecting, reclining human.

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 ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is Your Cat Normal?
To see if your cat has a problem, ask yourself the following
questions:
1. Does your cat sleep 22 hours a day, and spend the other two
hours in non-stop eating?
2. Does your cat take frequent naps in annoying places, such as
in the center of the dinner table, in the kitchen sink, or on top
of your freshly-cleaned-of-hair bedspread?
3. Is your cat selfish? Conceited? Arrogant? Aloof? Insensitive?
4. Does he wake you up in the middle of the night and refuse to
stop meowing until you accompany him to his food bowl to watch
him eat?
5. Does your cat tear down holiday decorations? Does he destroy
any stuffed toy or cat-sized household ornament which might be
misconstrued as his competition?
6. Does your cat perceive himself to be sole owner of all
property? Does he often show disdain for your taste, or act as if
you are an embarrassment to him?
If you answered 'yes' to most of these questions . . . relax,
your cat is normal!

How To Give Kitty A Bath
Some people say cats never have to be bathed. They say cats lick themselves
clean. They say cats have a special enzyme of some sort in their saliva that
works like new, improved Wisk--dislodging the dirt where it hides and whisking
it away.
I've spent most of my life believing this folklore. Like most blind
believers, I've been able to discount all the facts to the contrary - the
kitty odors that lurk in the corners of the garage and dirt smudges that cling
to the throw rug by the fireplace.
The time comes, however, when a person must face reality; when he must look
squarely in the face of massive public sentiment to the contrary and announce:
"This cat smells like a port-a-potty on a hot day in Juarez."
When that day arrives at your house, as it has in mine, I have some advice
you might consider as you place your feline friend under you arm and head for
the bathtub:
Know that although the cat has the advantages of quickness and utter
disregard for human life, you have the advantage of strength. Capitalize on
that advantage by selecting the battlefield. Don't try to bathe him in an open
area where he can force you to chase him. Pick a very small bathroom. If your
bathroom is more than four feet square, I recommend that you get in the tub
with the cat and close the sliding-glass doors as if you were about to take a
shower. (A simple shower curtain will not do. A berserk cat can shred a
three-ply rubber shower curtain quicker than a politician can shift
positions.)
Know that a cat has claws and will not hesitate to remove all the skin from
your body. Your advantage here is that you are smart and know how to dress to
protect yourself. I recommend canvas overalls tucked into high-top
construction boots, a pair of steel-mesh gloves, an army helmet, a hockey face
mask and a long-sleeve flak jacket.
Prepare everything in advance. There is no time to go out for a towel when
you have a cat digging a hole in your flak jacket. Draw the water. Make sure
the bottle of kitty shampoo is inside the glass enclosure. Make sure the towel
can be reached, even if you are lying on your back in the water.
Use the element of surprise. Pick up your cat nonchalantly, as if to simply
carry him to his supper dish. (Cats will not usually notice your strange
attire. They have little or no interest in fashion as a rule. If he does
notice your garb, calmly explain that you are taking part in a product-testing
experiment for J.C. Penney.)
Once you are inside the bathroom, speed is essential to your survival. In a
single liquid motion, shut the bathroom door, step into the tub enclosure,
slide the glass door shut, dip the cat in the water and squirt him with
shampoo. You have begun one of the wildest 45 seconds of your life. Cats have
no handles.
Add the fact that he now has soapy fur, and the problem is radically
compounded. Do not expect to hold on to him for more that two or three seconds
at a time. When you have him, however, you must remember to give him another
squirt of shampoo and rub like crazy. He'll then spring free and fall back
into the water, thereby rinsing himself off. (The national record is--for
cats--three latherings, so don't expect too much.)
Next, the cat must be dried. Novice cat bathers always assume this part
will be the most difficult, for humans generally are worn out at this point
and the cat is just getting really determined. In fact, the drying is simple
compared to what you have just been through. That's because by now the cat is
semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. You simply pop the drain plug with
your foot, reach for your towel and wait. (Occasionally, however, the cat will
end up clinging to the top of your army helmet. If this happens, the best
thing you can do is to shake him loose and to encourage him toward your leg.)
After all the water is drained from the tub, it is a simple matter to just
reach down and dry the cat.
Do *NOT* try to use a blow dryer. You might as well use a vacuum cleaner.
In a few days the cat will relax enough to be removed from your leg. He
will usually have nothing to say for about three weeks and will spend a lot of
time sitting with his back to you. He might even become psycho-ceramic and
develop the fixed stare of a plaster figurine.
You will be tempted to assume he is angry. This isn't usually the case. As
a rule he is simply plotting ways to get through your defenses and injure you
for life the next time you decide to give him a bath. But, at least now he
smells a lot better.

Rules For Cats To Live By
BATHROOMS:
Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything.
Just sit and stare.
DOORS:
Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get door open, stand on hind
legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to
use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door opened, stand
halfway in and out and think about several things. This is particularly
important during very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito season.
CHAIRS AND RUGS:
If you have to throw up, get to a chair or bed quickly. If you cannot manage
in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no Oriental rug, any quality
carpeting is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you back up so
it is as long as a human's bare foot.
HAMPERING:
If one of your humans is engaged in some activity and the other is idle,
stay with the busy one. This is called "helping," otherwise known
as "hampering." Following are the rules for "hampering:"
1) When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You
cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and
then picked up and comforted.
2) For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes and book,
unless you can lie across the book itself.
3) For paperwork, lie on the paper in the most appropriate manner so as to
obscure as much of the work as possible. Or pretend to doze, but
occasionally reach out and slap the pencil or pen.
4) For people paying bills or working on income taxes or Christmas cards,
keep in mind the aim: to hamper! First, sit on the paper being worked on.
When dislodged, watch sadly from the side of the table. When activity
proceeds nicely, roll around on the papers, scattering them to the best of
your ability. When being removed for the second time, make all four legs
flail around wildly in order to push pens, pencils, and erasers off the
table.
5) When a human is holding the newspaper in front of him/her, be sure to
jump on the back of the paper. Humans love surprises.
6) When a human is working at the computer, jump up on the desk, walk across
the keyboard, bat at the mouse pointer on the screen and then lay in the
human's lap across arms if possible to hamper typing in progress.
WALKING:
As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible in front of the
human, especially on stairs, when they have something in their arms, in the
dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This will help their
coordination skills.
BEDTIME:
Always sleep on the human at night so he/she doesn't move around too much.
LITTER BOX:
When using the litter box, be sure to kick as much litter out of the box as
possible. Humans love the feel of kitty litter between their toes.
HIDING:
Every now and then, hide in a place where the humans cannot find you. Do not
come out for three to four hours under any circumstances. This will cause
the humans to panic (which they love) thinking that you have run away or are
lost. Once you do come out, the humans will cover you with love and kisses
and you will probably get a treat.
ONE LAST THOUGHT:
Whenever possible, get close to a human, especially their face, then turn
around, and present your butt to them. Humans love this, so do it often. And
don't forget guests.
Alfred Says:
You know that cats are carnivores, meaning they are meat eaters.
They don't have the ability to manufacture proteins in their liver
as dogs and humans do, thus they have to get their proteins from food.
Complete proteins come from meat sources. Incomplete proteins come
from grains. Incomplete proteins do not have all the amino acids
present required to form what we call a complete protein.
Also you will want to consider the presence of harsh chemical preservatives
that are in some foods, such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin. All have been
proven to play a role in various degenerative diseases such as kidney
and liver disease, and cancer.
Now, what do you believe would be better for your precious Kitty, a food
that has a cancer causing agent, or a food that has all natural
preservatives?
Our suggestion then is to look for a kitten or cat food that has at
least 2 to 3 meat sources of proteins to every one grain source.
And to look for a food that has all natural preservatives instead of toxic
chemicals.
Our recommended dining experience for cats and kittens is:
Life's Abundance Premium Health Food For Cats
It is a 100% complete and balanced formula that is safe for your kitten,
and will supply your kitten with the nutrients it needs.
