I love Somalis! I have been looking after two, twin neutered males, who look like this!
Today - Tuesday 14th September 1999- I received the devastating news that one of the Somali twins has been killed in a car accident. Now that you have crossed the Rainbow Bridge - Rest in peace, my darling.
Our friends from CLAW have given him a wonderful funeral service - it has helped me to cope.
I am in the process of adding some links to other Somali sites.
This is MIDNIGHT.
She has written some absolutely wonderful POETRY, which you simply must read!!
It is with a heavy heart that I have to give the news that Queen Midnight has crossed the Rainbow Bridge (November 2006). She was loved so much by all the cats, and their bipeds. Click on the image below to visit her memorial.
WHY CATS ARE BETTER THAN MEN
Cats are clean and fastidious.
Cats don't leave their whiskers all over the wash-hand basin.
Cats aren't threatened if you earn more than they do
Cats don't care whether or not you shave your legs.
Cats don't like beer.
Cats don't brag about whom they've slept with.
Cats don't like football.
Cats don't go ON AND ON about football when they've been asked not to.
Cats don't read pornography.
Cats don't correct your stories.
Cats mean it when they show affection.
Cats are prettier - and they don't fart in bed.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR CAT IS MALE
This is Muffet Honan
HAMLET'S CAT
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 butts of inclement weather
That Nature rains on those who roam abroad,
Or to take a nap upon a scrap of carpet,
And so by dozing, melt the solid hours
That clog the clocks 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,
The 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 neighbour'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.
This caution doth make housecats 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.
