(sung to: Good King Wenceslas)
~
Good cats in the house are bad
When their Mom's not looking,
Stick their noses everywhere
Just to see what's cooking.
When their claws need polishing,
Shred the couch and love seat.
They don't heed admonishing,
But their misdeeds repeat!
Good cats in the house are sad
When they feel neglected.
They will yowl without respite
Or act cool and affected.
Special love at christmastime
Is what they require,
That we pet them ceaselessly,
Their good looks to admire!

"There is no cat 'language'. Painful as it is for us to admit, they don't need one." --Barbara Holland
If your cat prefers water from the toilet, or from a
puddle, gutter or pond, it may be because the water in her dish tastes bad to her. You can try substituting bottled or boiled water, or letting the water sit out for a few hours to enable the chlorine to evaporate. Try adding a little club soda to ordinary water. Cats love carbonation!
