1: Kibble Nibble: mewsings from the
food bowl (editorial)
Okay, we're late again! Our cats seem to be
more
schedule-oriented than I.
My surgery went well and I am still in
the "hibernation phase,"
of my recovery, easily tired, but otherwise doing
quite well.
After the experiences I've had on yet another list I am
almost
tempted to republish last month's article regarding how some
lists
and forums suck. The problem is that it only takes a few
nut-cases to
make sure they don't understand what one says,
infuriating the rest of the
group to do similarly.
Last month it was purposeful misinterpretation of
an example of
cat abuse on one list. This month, it was accusation of
an
attack when I suggested on another list that not everyone on
the list
was a rightwing Christian. Though I said nada about
my own beliefs, I was
mercilessly attacked. One comment I made
in return, was "It is much
easier to pray for someone than to
listen to them."
Some people just
could not believe the truth regarding the nature
of some of their
posts. They didn't seem to understand that my
post wasn't even about
me; it was out of concern for others on
the group.
.......
Many
years ago,when I was a nearly-to-graduate high school
student in the 1960's,
my guidance counselor said "You know,
there are two things people are not
going to like about you when
you get on further with life." I dreaded
what came next. "You
are a boat-rocker and you are ahead of your
time. Some people
are going to be frightened and angry because of
this."
I did not have the sense at the time to say "Well, now
that
you've told me what they *won't like* what will they
like?"
Supervisory adults are not necessarily equal-sided in
their
pronouncements.
Another example of this occurred in seventh
grade when the school
staff decided to give us demerits when we messed
up. You guessed
it; I received quite a few demerits.
At one
point I remember having the courage to speak up at Student
Council, of which
I was now a member (of course!) stating "This
isn't fair! If you
are going to give us demerits, you ought to
give us merits too.
Otherwise, you're just punishing us but not
rewarding us." The
superintendent mumbled something about our
not deserving rewards, however,
soon we had a more balanced
system.
So Some have labeled me
"opinionated," but, Teresa Heinz Kerry
to the rescue, who *finally*
says:
I look forward to the day when women who have earned the
right,
instead of being regarded as opinionated, are thought of as
smart
and well-informed just like men.

My
FMS Heroes Three
by Lauren Merryfield
A hero is a sandwich.
Heroin is a drug. I would rather not
depend on either of
them.
The only hero who has really been with me through it all, so
far,
is me.
If I consider someone else to be my hero, then I have
given much
of my empowerment and self-esteem over to him/her. This is
as
bad as a sandwich or a drug.
It would be nice if I could truly be
enlightened enough to have
reached such a higher consciousness--however, I am
not there
yet...
My heroes are three: Jaspur, Mikey and
Gabrielle!
They always know when I have a good day or a bad one and
they
just move around it. They stay near me on the bad days--the
days
when humans want nothing to do with me.
My three heroes know
nothing of the name of my situation but they
do seem to be aware of some of
its issues. Sometimes they accept
it all better than I
do.
Jaspur, Mikey and Gabrielle are my sweet, ornery
cats!

The Morning Ritual
by Margy
Ohring
We go downstairs when every day begins,
for you can't start a
day without your food.
The one who trips me is the one who wins,
but if I
fall, I won't do you much good.
Now, wait until you are completely
down;
don't arch your back when you are half-way there;
mid-staircase
pauses will cause me to frown;
I'll not be graceful sliding through the
air.
Go wind each other if you must, my friends,
please do it all
three steps ahead of me;
you won't like seeing me head over ends,
my
tumbling, bumping should not cause you glee.
Tripping me up won't put
food in your dish;
my landing safely should be what you wish.

Hamlet's Cat's
Soliloquy
To go outside, and there perchance to stay
Or to remain
within: that is the question:
Whether 'tis better for a cat to suffer
The cuffs and buffets of inclement weather
That Nature rains on those who
roam abroad,
Or take a nap upon a scrap of carpet,
And so by dozing melt
the solid hours
That clog the clock's bright gears with sullen time
And
stall the dinner bell.
To sit, to stare Outdoors, and by a stare to seem to
state
A wish to venture forth without delay,
Then when the portal's
opened up, to stand
As if transfixed by doubt.
To prowl; to sleep;
To choose not knowing when we may once more
Our readmittance gain: aye,
there's the hairball;
For if a paw were shaped to turn a knob,
Or work a
lock or slip a window-catch,
And going out and coming in were made
As
simple as the breaking of a bowl,
What cat would bear the household's petty
plagues,
The cook's well-practiced kicks, the butler's broom,
The
infant's careless pokes, the tickled ears,
The trampled tail, and all the
daily shocks
That fur is heir to, when, of his own free will,
He might
his exodus or entrance make
With a mere mitten?
Who would spaniels
fear,
Or strays trespassing from a neighbor's yard,
But that the dread
of our unheeded cries
And scratches at a barricaded door
No claw can
open up, dispels our nerve
And makes us rather bear our humans' faults
Than run away to unguessed miseries?
Thus caution doth make house cats of us
all;
And thus the bristling hair of resolution
Is softened up with the
pale brush of thought,
And since our choices hinge on weighty things,
We
pause upon the threshold of decision.

(Editor's note: In The Literate Feline,
one of the lists for
members of the Cat Writers' Association, I was
introduced to Tim
Thompson, whose music inspired by his cats is PURRfectly
the
Cat's Meow! I loved the clips from his website, promptly
ordered
the music and my family just loves it! Tim and I have
exchanged
links on our catly sites, and an article he submitted
appears
below. Come and enjoy!
Not only does his music encompass
the humorous antics of our
cats, he offers a beautiful, heart-felt "In
memoriam" to Clyde,
thus creating a lasting memory of his beloved
cat.)
----------------------
A Classic Tail-- Musician takes his
cue from tuned-in cat
Submitted by Tim Thompson
What do computers,
cats, and classical music all have in common?
At first glance,
nothing. But if you are resourceful, like
artist, Tim Thompson,
creativity comes from the most unlikely
places.
Applying unique
programming techniques to a QuickTime Musical
Instruments synthesizer and
Roland XV-5080 Sound Module (they're
computer-controlled synthesizers), Tim
has composed a special
blend of electronic and orchestral music that spans
the entire
classical era-and then some.
"I've put together variations
on many classical styles, from
Gregorian Chant to Mozartian minuets, but I've
put my own
contemporary spin on them," he says. According to Tim,
his
synthesizer programming creates tones and sounds that are
non-existent
on traditional instruments. The result is a
romantic and rich polyphonic
sound that puts the listener in
the very heart of his virtual
orchestra!
So where does he draw his inspiration? From none other
than his
great cat Clyde Big Paws! Folks on the Internet the world
over
know and love Clyde from his Web site: ClydeSight2.0!, and fans
are
well aware that he was one extraordinary cat! What a surprise
to discover
that he was mewsical as well!
"I noticed that my cat, Clyde, had positive
reactions to some
musical tones and negative reactions to others--and
sometimes
just plain indifference," says Tim. "I knew well from my
study
of cats that they have incredible hearing-- they can hear
four
octaves higher than humans!
As a musician, I knew that musical
harmonics occur in this range.
We humans merely "feel" them, but the cats
actually hear them.
So by watching Clyde, I knew when I had the best
harmonic
combinations.
That's how I got the idea to use only the
sounds and arrangements
that he "approved"-to see what I would come up
with."
The result was the album "Symphonia Felina"-a nice collection
of
new classical music compositions that please the ear and stir
the
senses.
The album has a strange and charming affect on both humans
and
cats! The humans take delight in the selections, and sometimes,
when
they are in the right mood, so do the cats! Perhaps Clyde
tricked Tim into
sending them his own feline message hidden
within the music.
It kind
of makes you wonder where classical maestros of bygone
eras got their ideas
from.
Fans of the award-winning website, ClydeSight 2.0!, are
already
familiar with the music, as it is the soundtrack for the
site's
popular games and stories (the Adventures of Clyde the Cat).
But in
case you are out of the loop, a specially created
synthesized voice comes on
before each number and gives a brief
explanation.
Musical numbers
include the dramatic Toccata Temporal, Clyde
March (with unmistakable
Elizabethan harmonies), and the Rocking
Melodian-a lively 19th-century style
organ and orchestra piece.
Ok-so the music was inspired by a cat.
And was in written as
themes to the cat's adventures on the website.
But Tim has
even gone so far as to say it was composed by Clyde. How
come?
"Well," he says, "since the musical concept was such a
radical
departure from anything heard before, I was a little concerned.
I
claimed the cat was the composer in the beginning in case
people didn't like
the music-I figured I could always blame
Clyde! But as it turned out, the
opposite was true. Site visitors
adored the music and asked for the
album.
Naturally, I had to give Maestro Clyde the credit. And, I
wonder,
if he could actually write music, might he have done exactly
what
I did?-- for he was in my heart the whole time, for every note
and
measure."
Tim started playing classical music on the piano at age two
and
his love of music grew from there. He has performed in
Choirs,
Renaissance Ensembles (playing recorder) and Madrigal
groups
(renaissance chorus).
Not only does he compose and play music
but he builds instruments
as well. He has been both an apprentice and
master pipe organ
builder in the Boston area. He has also built
clavichords,
harpsichords and restored 19th-century reed and pipe organs.
The
influence of all this musical training is clearly apparent in all
his
work as he draws on his experience to deliver a sound that,
as one album
owner wrote:
"... is bright, fresh and irresistible. It's catnip for the
ears."

has, so far, answered all of my questions quite
reasonably.)
Subject: Cat Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE:
Development of New Product Revolutionizes Previous Cat
Care
Principles
If you look at any animal welfare or pet care website,
they will
advise you to keep your cat inside. Many adoption centers
and
breeders will only sell cats to homes that will keep them inside.
The
reason is simple; indoor cats live up to five times longer
than outdoor cats.
However, veterinarians are citing obesity as
a growing health concern among
cats. Increasingly more and
more cat care professionals are letting their
cats outside due to
a new product from Benners Gardens. The product is a top
to
bottom virtually invisible cat fence/enclosure system.
"We love our
fence. Our 40+ cats are enjoying every minute of
being outside, it gives them
a real break from being inside."
(Dixie Dixon; Blue Bell,
PA)
Until now, it was virtually impossible for cat owners to
safely
allow their cat outside without having an electric barrier
or
standard wooden or chain-link fence with a roof type device
installed
on it to keep cats from climbing out.
The new "Houdini-Proof" Cat Fence
System allows cat owners to
set up a safe, outdoor enclosure of whatever size
they want.
Cat owners would be able to fence off anything from a
small
area to their entire property.
There are several unique aspects
to the "Houdini-Proof" Cat Fence
System. Made out of a flexible, lightweight,
polypropylene mesh
grid, the fence is easy to install and doesn't ruin your
view.
The flexibility is also one of the key factors in making
Benner's
Friendly Fence "Houdini Proof." Cats don't like to walk or
climb
on unstable surfaces. For this reason, most cats won't even
attempt
to climb it. For those escape artist cats, however, the
mesh fence turns back
in at the top to force the cat back to the
ground.
This system is
employed at cat shelters with up to 60 cats. This
system has also been used
as an enclosure for feral cats.
Despite all of this, there has not been a
single escape to date.
With feline obesity becoming a growing concern
among
veterinarians, a Benner's Friendly Fence allows cat owners
to
provide their loved one with the exercise they need without
having to
worry about predators, death or injury by vehicle,
feline leukemia,
distemper, or FIV. As mentioned earlier,
this product is
revolutionizing how cat care professionals give
advice. Check
out

product.

3: Bizcat Skills
The Power of
FEAR - by Cathy Bryant
-----------------
Copyright
2003
http://www.homebizjunction.comWhy is it that so many people SAY they want to operate
their
own business, but then fail to take any action when required
to do
so?
Fear. Pure and simple.
They're afraid.
Afraid of
failure.
Afraid of losing money.
Afraid of what others may
think.
Afraid of having to alter their lifestyle to accommodate
their
new venture.
Afraid of all SORTS of things.
Well, here's a fact
that may surprise many of you who find
yourself thinking, "That describes me
perfectly. Wish I
were unafraid, like the people who have already begun
a
business of their own."
Do you think those of us who own our own
businesses AREN'T
AFRAID?
Don't kid yourself.
Those of us who
operate our own businesses go through the
same mental anguish that the fence
sitters do. We're
afraid of the very same things.
So what makes
it possible for us to put the FEAR aside
and go on to do what needs to be
done in order to achieve
our dreams of entrepreneurial freedom?
Simply
this -
The PAIN of being tied down to a job that we hated and
being
unhappy with our present situation was greater
than the FEAR of
failure.
When you get to that point in your life, you will
KNOW.
You will KNOW that you have no other choice but to
take
action. To stop finding all sorts of excuses why you
can't
think about doing anything until tomorrow. Or
until next week. Or
next month. Or next year.
Have YOU reached that point
yet?

How Not To Market
by John
Colanzi
http://www.thesimplesystem.net/cashflow.htmlI really don't get it.
Why do so many marketers shoot
themselves in the foot?
It takes time to build an online
presence.
Why do so many marketers go out of their way to lose business
and
credibility?
They do everything they can to destroy any chance of
doing
business with future customers. In many cases they not only lose
a
future customer, they destroy their reputation.
Some ways not to
market.
1. Subscribe to an ezine and every time the publisher sends
out
their newsletter, play email tag and hit them with an ad.
Do you
think you'll make a sale?
I doubt it.
2. Use forged headers in you
email.
What are you hiding?
If you don't want me to know who you
are, why in the world would
I trust you with my money?
3. Send me an
email saying, "You're receiving this message
because we are both
members of the same opt in list."
Since I don't belong to any safe lists,
you've started your sales
letter with a lie.
I'm sure you'll get my
business. I love sending money to people
who lie to me.
4. Sending
those bogus pyramid letters.
They are illegal and I'm sure I want to
flood in boxes with
illegal chain letters.
Wake up!
Here's what
mailing one of these letters shows:
A. You know nothing about doing
business. If you did you wouldn't
be wasting my time and yours.
B. You
either don't have a clue that these schemes are illegal or
you feel you have
to break the law to make money.
So use any of these methods of marketing
and I seriously doubt
you'll get many sales.
Why would anyone buy from
you?
If you're too dumb to know any better, how can I make
money
investing in a you?
If you're a scam artist, I know you aren't
getting a dime out of
me.
Do yourself a favor. Build a real
business.
Don't show your ignorance by using any of these
schemes.
Save yourself some time and do business the right
way.
Once you lose your credibility, you may never get it
back.
Wishing You Success, John

4: Look What The Cats Dragged In
"A
cat sleeps fat yet walks thin." -- Fred Scwab

Some Good
Lessons
(Editor's note:Jim sent these to me, adding textual
descriptions
to the graphics; Author unknown)
Doggy at the computer
with a concerned look on face:
"Take a moment from your day to learn a
few good lessons..."
Little doggy riding 'horsy-back' on a big
doggy:
"Always try to help a friend in need."
Kitty-cat hanging
from the clothesline from three big
clothespins looking face-to-face with a
mouse hanging from
the same clothesline with one clothespin:
"Remember, on a bad day you are almost never alone!"
Cat with its eyes
scrunched shut:
"Close your eyes and smile at least once a
day!"
A golden kitty with its arms around a black one:
{no
words}
Two grey kitties, one with mouth wide open in a big
smile:
"Laugh often."
Some sort of small fluffy doggy in a bowl
on top of a food scale:
"Don't be overly concerned with your weight,
it's just a
number!"
Little brown doggy with a Pooh shirt and hugging
a toy honey jar:
"Indulge in the things you truly love."
Kitty
somehow stuffed down inside a large pop glass:
"Always try to see the
glass half full."
A furry kitty and a little chick:
"Meet new
people, even if they look different than you."
Little puppy hugging a
bamboo plant, sort of up the tree:
"Remain calm..."
Donkey
hanging over the edge of the roof covered with snow:
"...even when it
seems hopeless."
Kitty hugging the computer mouse, asleep:
"Take lots of naps..."
Black and white kitty on its stomach looking
weird:
"RELAX!!"
Doggy with its head looking out through crack
in an old
building:
"Keep your head up"
Little puppy sitting
on a bright motorcycle toy:
"Enjoy expensive toys
often."
Another with its head in a paper sack:
"Never be
ashamed..."
Very tiny baby gibbon or something wrapped around a human
finger:
"There is always someone who loves you more than you
know."
Kitty with both front paws all bandaged up:
"It will get
better"
And one trying to break through a fence with its teeth
showing:
"Give it your all"
Kitty with eyes wide open and
tongue hanging all the way out:
"Be weird whenever you have the
chance"
One cat springing through the air getting ready to land
on
another:
"Always be up for surprises."
Cat on hind legs
holding its hands together:
"PRAY"
Too old mutts curled
together:
"Love someone with all of your heart."
Picture of a
cat on a small park bench on a postcard with
saying,
'What a week this has
been...':
"Cherish every Sunday!"
Kitty and doggy rubbing
noses:
"Love your friends, no matter who they are."
