"LadyHawke's Note"
After a relatively brief but serious illness, it was
determined that my 22 year old pussycat had
rather grim prospects. Among other things, she
suffered from a kidney failure. There was no
chance of recovery. As long as she purred for
me when I petted her, I did everything in my
power to keep her alive and comfortable.
However, when she stopped purring, it became
obvious that she no longer enjoyed life. She
stopped eating, rapidly lost weight and was a
shadow of former joyful self. I had no choice but
to send her over The Rainbow Bridge. She left
this life in my arms, on her favorite purple blanket.
Nothing cleanses the soul better than a good cry.
One of these days, the flow of my tears will stop,
but not today. My beloved pet will be cremated so
her ashes will always be with me.
I am rerunning today's joke in memory of my Tanya.
You can see how gorgeous she was at

"Cat-person Profile Quiz"
Is your devotion to your cat and "cat things" in the
training stage, at a moderate level, or extreme?
Or are you an all out shameless "cat-a-holic?"
Let's just see how you rate as a "cat person,"
shall we? See how many of these can you give
an HONEST "yes" answer to:
--Can you meow so well that you can fake out
your cats?
--Have you ever called your husband/wife by the
cat's name by mistake?
--Do you think of your cats as the "furry kids?"
--Did you ever decide to buy a house or rent an
apartment based solely on the potential spot for
the litter box?
--Do you think cat hair in your food is a good
source of protein?
--Last Christmas did you spend more money on
cat toys than you did on gifts for the kids or
grandkids?
--Are you at a loss as to how to talk to people
who don't own any cats?
--Does your wallet contain more photos of your
cats than your kids or grandkids?
--Have you often slept on the very edge of the bed
so that you won't disturb the cat who's sleeping in
the very middle?
--Do you leave messages for the kitty on the
answering machine?
--Have you ever invited a guest to sit down by
patting the seat and making that noise with your
pursed lips?
--Does your answering machine have the cat
meowing on the outgoing message?
--When you go to the bathroom do you think of it
as "using the litter box"?
--Have you made a habit of setting a place at the
table for the kitty?
--Do you know your cat's birthday (or if not, have
made a good guess) and have a birthday party to
celebrate?
--When your husband/wife gives you the ultimatum,
"OK, it's me or the cat," you don't hesitate for even
one second.
--Do your neighbors talk about you as "the nut with
all the cats?"
"Cat-person Profile Quiz Score"
How many did you answer "yes" to? I think just
answering one with a "yes" is enough to qualify
you as a "Cat Person." But the number of yes
answers determines the degree:
***Your "Cat-ability" Score:
----1 to 4 yes answers: In training - you could do
better, but it's OK, you're learning.
----5 to 8 yes answers: Moderate - working on it,
improving nicely. Potential is there.
----9 to 13 yes answers: Extreme - just about there,
almost mastered the art. Keep stretching yourself.
----14 to 17 yes answers: Totally possessed,
hopelessly devoted, cat-a-holic. Congratulations!
