Group for Cat-Lovers

O happy day! Thanks Katerina and Val. Chocolate, Jelly Bean and Marshmallow say HELLO KATMANDU from Africa!

"For me, one of the pleasures of cats' company is their devotion to bodily comfort." - Sir Compton Mackenzie

We have a dog in the group, and he's called Snooky. I took the liberty to make him an Honorary Cat, and hope no-one and/or no-mog objects, but Snooky sounds reasonably civilised -- for a dog that is; Regards, Val

French quotes

"I love cats because I love my home and after a while they become its visible soul." (Jean Cocteau, French writer and film director)

"Two things are aethetically perfect in the world -- the clock and the cat." (Emile-August Chartier, French philosopher)

"The cat has too much spirit to have no heart." (Ernest Menault, French writer)

"The cat pretends to sleep so that it may see more clearly." (Chateaubriand, French writer, statesman...ans steak)

Will you be the only dog, Snooky? You're not a dog at all, Snooky, you're an Honorary Cat, so you better learn to Miaou pretty sharpish. There may well be other dogs in the Group if they are friendly to cats. Regards, Val

Helloooo...these 5 cats-kits are below my balcony now,
and they vote for dogs and pups in this group,
as long as they are cat-friendly

Cat sex and/or gender/Kat sax and/or ginger. Mr Trouble has been in a fight and has got a cut above his eye. We went to see his usual vet today, but the vet was away so I took him to another vet, who told me that Mr Trouble is really Mrs, Miss, Ms, Senora, Signorina, Mevrouw, Mme or Mlle Trouble. A neutered one. so in the space of half an hour Trouble went from being a male to a female to an 'it'. I am still recovering. Regards, Mr, Monsieur, Herr, Mijnheer, Signor, Senora, Val, who has sent lots of you a Cat Group Launch postcard.
I now live in a house with THREE females!

some guys have all the luck

My lovely cats...!

Katerina, nice 5 cat photo! Will it be a long time before you return to Chicago or somewhere in the States? Because I'm not organized for leaving home I didn't get myself together for the train to Chi town, alas.

Bonsoir! Here are two Envelopes (I hope!) with a cat theme that i have submitted for the Children for Peace Mail Art Exhibition in Wroclaw, Poland, 2011. Regard, Val

Ooh la la! C'est un French cat. 'Ze bleu katz'? Non, 'le chat bleu' (or should that be 'la chatte bleu'?)

You're showing off just like a Kat! I can't reply in Greek, but here's a very appopriate Russian saying: Беда́ (никогда́) не прихо́дит одна́.

It translates as "Trouble never comes alone". (Usually Bianca is 3 meters behind)

Hasta la vista, Baby! Val
English version: When it rains, it pours.

wow Val! indeed there is such saying!

Is there such a saying? Well, I found it on the internet, and as I don't know any Russian at all, I asseumed that it was 'kosher'. I also found lots of Russian sayings about cats, too. And I'm now reading a detective book set in st petersburg in 1917 -- quite good (but no cats). Regards

Bonsoir!
National Cat Day is tomorrow, October 29 -- which is too late to do what I want to do.
BUT I have been authorised (by myself) to launch an IUOMA National Cat Day 2 weeks later, ie on Friday 12 November. What I propose is that on the 12th we each send to every member of the Cat Group who wants to participate a Cat Mail Art piece (perhaps a limited edition one?). Let me know if you think this is a good idea, and, if it is, if you want to participate. And if you have any different/better/alternative ideas to celebrate this important day in a suitable manner, please let me know -- especially if you can think of a special theme for it.
Thanks and regards.
Val
PS Snooky can of course join in, too, as he is an Honorary

Hi! You're the first..let's hope others join in soon. If you see a cat in Turkey tomorrow you have to give it a big stroke. Of cours. Regards, Val

A fun idea, Val--I'm in

Happy Cat day! The cat day mail-art idea sounds fun!

Hi Snooky, The list shouldn't be that long, as it only inclydes those Cat Group members who want to participate; We have 18 members, so that's the maximum. Keep your mail art relatively simple and/or photocopy it, and things should eb OK. If you only do one a day between now and 12 November, you'll have 14 pieces. Tell your paws: get to it y'all! Regards, Val
