BunnyRooBeagle - Norman the Cat

Norman is a beautiful, all black ball of fluff that came into my life about
two years ago. He was a neighborhood stray....hungry and sick. After
gaining Norman's trust (with food, of course!) I took him to the vet and
the rest is history. Norman is now a healthy and happy member of our
family. Believe it or not, he loves the dogs and enjoys planning surprise
attacks (especially on poor, blind, Bunny Roo!). He refuses to use a
litter box (I don't think he knows what one is)...however, he always lets
me know when he needs to go out. Norman is one smart and snuggly
kitty! Please remember that there are MANY homeless kitties in the
world. If you are planning on adding a cat to your family, consider
adoption! Afterall, adoption is the best option! Meow!

"The cat goes out
And the cat comes back
And no one can follow
Upon his track.
He knows where he's going
He knows where he's been
All we can do
Is let him in."
Marchette Chute

4 tbs Soft Margarine
1/4 c Warm beef broth
1 1/4 c White flour
5 tbs Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine
water, margarine and cheese. Add flour and
mix to form dough. Roll out dough and cut with
fish shaped cookie cutter. Bake on ungreased
cookie sheet for 25 minutes. Meow!

So you are adding a kitten to your family....congratulations! Are you prepared for kitty's arrival?
Every new pet needs a few essentials in order to live happily in their new home. Make sure you
have all of the things you need on hand before Felix arrives.

All of the items above can be found at your local pet supply store (such as PetSmart!). It is a good
idea to do your homework so that you purchase the products that best fit your new cat�s needs.

It is also important to make sure that your cat�s new home is �kitty proof.� Your cat will need a safe,
clean environment in order to thrive!

Kittens are curious, playful, and full
of energy, while adult cats are more
relaxed and less mischievous.
Kittens need more time to train and
feed. Young children usually don't
have the maturity to handle kittens
responsibly, so a cat that is at least
four months old is probably the best
choice for homes with kids under
six years old.

Secure all escape routes
Secure kitchen cupboards
Make sure there are no strangling hazzards
Secure electrical wiring
Remove toxic plants
Make certain all cosmetics and medications are
out of reach
Make sure all chemical hazzards are put away
(anti-freeze, cleaners, etc.)

Remember, cats are naturally curious and will investigate anything that they find interesting!
They will often taste, sniff and touch almost everything they come across. Play it safe and �kitty
proof� before you bring home your new bundle of fur.
