Cat Poems part 1. by: Silence Buck Bellows

posted by tokyomacncheese

Cat on the Hearth
The firelight flickers on the Chinese tray
And on the books set snugly in their rack;
Copper and silver flow beneath its play,
The chairs are placed - what is it that
we lack?

She comes. With each foor delicately placed,
Advancing like a vestal to the rite,
She scorns to move with unbecoming haste
Or note the lesser objests in her sight.

She settles couchant; curves one placid paw;
Beneath her chest; now curves its mate
the same;
Yeilds to the promptings of some ancient law
And fastens thoughtful eyes upon the flame

Now let the night wind rise, the grey
storm come

Shade & Frost as kittens.

Owl knew that Lily's kittens would be born soon. "The first one's coming!" yowled Lily. "I'll help you!" Owl meowed. Soon the kittens were all born. They were; Ash, a grey she-cat with brown eyes, Shade, a black tomcat with green eyes, and Frost, a white she-cat with blue eyes. "We must see if Frost is deaf," mewed Lily. "I'll get Ivy," promised Owl. "So, ya want me to check if this one's deaf?" purred Ivy. "Yes, please sister," Lily purred back. "Frost, can ya here me?" asked Ivy. "Mew," mewed Frost. "Well, she's not deaf," meowed Ivy.

Treating the Stressed Out Cat

posted by slurp

If your cat shows persistent or significant behavior changes, take the cat to the veterinarian. Illness may be the stressor that is producing the behavior changes and it should be ruled out first. If the cat has a clean bill of health, then it is up to the owner to determine what may be stressing the cat. If the stressor can be removed, the solution is simple. For example, if the stressor is the neighbor's cat who likes to sit outside the window, the shades can be pulled during the time of day that the cat is most likely to appear or maybe the neighbor can be convinced to keep his cat inside....

Does Your Cat Give Itself Jobs?

posted by Felines

My Luna

My oldest cat has a very definite sense of herself. She has rules of behavior – for herself and for me when dealing with her. She takes herself quite seriously.

When she was about 2 years old, just getting totally past the kitten stage, she started assigning herself duties.

At the time, I was working a midnight to 7 am shift. I got up at 10 pm. After a while I noticed that if I wasn’t up within 10 minutes of my alarm going off, Luna would be there working at waking me up. She started out gently by licking my eyelids, but if that didn’t work she progressed up the pain ladder – a few slaps...

Cat Emergencies - Choking and/or Eating Toxic Substances

posted by Felines

This is the time of the year that can spell disaster to your cat. Decorations like tinsel, ribbon from packages, poinsettias, boxes of chocolates sitting out on coffee tables.

It also seems to be true – the same way that your car goes dead on the Sunday of a long weekend or on a country road in the middle of nowhere - that your cat will only get itself in some major life-threatening situation after regular vet office hours, or in the middle of a major all roads shut down snow storm.

Knowing how to help your cat right away can make all the difference.

A Cat's "I Should Have Stayed in Bed" Day

posted by Felines

Max Contemplating His Bad Day

Woke up this morning. I needed to pee, badly. Ran to the litter box. It was being used. Ran to the other litter box, it was also in use. Ran to the litter box in the bathroom. The door was closed. Peed on the floor. Human came out of the bathroom and stepped in it. Got yelled at. Not my fault! Went to a corner in the basement to sulk.

Got called up to have breakfast. Didn't get upstairs fast enough and the dog ate most of it. Now I only get tasteless, low fat, diet crunchies for the rest of the day. I am really pissed off. This reminds me, I need to go again. Saw an empty carton lying on the...

I'm so sad.

posted by galou_2010

Why? Because my 15 year-old cat fell from an eith floor balcony and... died. Just yesterday. I cried my eyes out. But I think she did it on purpose, because she knew the time was coming. And instead of just dying in a corner, she wanted to do it gracefully and swiftly by jumping off a balcony. I'm sure that's what she wanted.

Anyway, my parents, my brother, my dog and I went in a massive park full of forests, and dug a hole and put our dead cat in it.

RIP Marvelous Marvin.

I will never forget you.

My fat cat Lacey, and my kitten Peyton

posted by GigglesD

When my cat Lacey was little, he was on the streets. When the Humane Society truck came around, he was the only cat of his litter that was found. I'd consider him lucky. My mother picked him up at the Humane Society when he was about 8 weeks old. He was my best friend. We did a lot together. That may sound strange, but you can figure it out. He is 7 years old now, A.K.A, 49.
My kitten Peyton was also found at the Society. She was crying, mainly because she had a bladder infection. If we hadn't picked her up, she would've died. Right now she is healthy and happy, and is growing every day. I...

Catnip - Fun or Dangerous

posted by slurp

Catnip (Nepeta Cataria) is an herb belonging to the mint family which has been used by man since the days of Ancient Egypt and by cats for even longer. It has a remarkable effect on many cats, stimulating them and relaxing them at the same time. The plant is a perennial, common throughout Europe and Asia, as well as in North America where it was introduced many years ago. Its feline appeal lies in a chemical called nepetalactone which is present in its stem and leaves. Although the plant exudes its characteristic odor all the time, it is much more attractive to cats when the shoots are damaged...

Tara

posted by laura1233214

Four-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo was playing in front of his home when a neighbor’s dog came up and bit him and pulled him off his bike. The first to come to his rescue was the family cat, Tara, who body-slammed the dog, followed closely by Erica Triantafilo. Tara is one brave cat! Erica tried to chase the dog off, and she was bitten, too.

Jeremy was taken to a hospital where he received ten stitches. The original video, which was re-edited from several security cameras, was viewed 5 million times on YouTube in less than two days, before it was replaced with a version that does not show Jeremy’s...
