Here is more fun from some rather intelligent kitties:o) We’ve kept the list of Cat Haiku hidden from our kitty. He thinks he’s far smarter than we are anyway and we don’t want to provide him with anything that will support his theory! 

Haiku Written by Cats

Your mouth is moving; 
Up and down, emitting noise. 
I’ve lost interest. 

 
My brain: walnut-sized. 
Yours: largest among primates. 
Yet, who leaves for work? 
 
Most problems can be 
Ignored. The more difficult 
Ones can be slept through.

 
 
Cats can’t steal the breath 
Of children. But if my tail’s 
Pulled again, I’ll learn. 
 
I don’t mind being 
Teased, any more than you mind 
A skin graft or two. 
 
So you call this thing 
Your “cat carrier”. I call 
These my “blades of death”. 

Ok… it’s back to work for us…How about you?

This week we’re going to visit with a cat rescue group from Hoptacong New Jersey. A friend of ours (Sue B.) is a foster Mom for K.I.S.S. (Kitties In Need of Someone Special)

K.I.S.S. is a registered non-profit charitable organization in New Jersey staffed by a dedicated group of women who are commited to making a difference in the lives of unwanted cats and kittens, many of which are turned away from shelters because they are full.

Recently Sue completed a remodel on the fostering rooms in her home and her kitties have it made! We call it Sue’s Kitty Heaven because it is! She’s been a cat lover for many years fostering countless kittens for K.I.S.S. as well as caring for feral cats in her community.

Sue always sends us the cutest pics of her foster kittens and we thought we would share some of her current babies with you.

If you live in the New Jersey area and find yourself suddenly in need of a cat in your life please contact K.I.S.S. at cmargo@optonline.net. They have many sweet cats and kittens waiting for someone to love and cuddle with!

Have a Happy Kitty Day!

Who can resist hearing what Mr. Twain has to say on almost any subject? How about one of his favorite topics…CATS!

Twain’s personal space was knee-deep in cats! At one point his family boasted 19 cats. Being a writer by trade he naturally came up with some pretty zany names for them. A few of the family’s beloved kitties included, Bambino, Stray Kit, Appollinaris, Sour Mash, Blatherskite, and Zoroaster. We thought we would share some classic Twain quotes about cats:

“Ignorant people think it’s the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain’t so; it’s the sickening grammar they use.”

“Never try to teach a cat to sing. It wastes your time, and annoys the cat.”

“I simply can’t resist a cat, particularly a purring one. They are the cleanest, cunningest, and most intelligent things I know, outside of the girl you love, of course.”

“Of all God’s creatures, there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”

“A home without a cat, and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat, may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove that title?”

I know the next time we need to name a cat we’ll think of Mr. Twain’s list of very peculiar and sometimes hilarious names.  Check out more info about this fascinating writer. 

Until next time…
