The Daily Cat Tips

December 22nd, 2011
by JaneA Kelley, Paws and Effect

  A small group of pet bloggers decided they wanted to give shelter pets a happy holiday season, so they started the Santa Paws Drive, which has become a bigger phenomenon with each passing year.

But you don’t have to start a huge international movement to help shelter cats enjoy the holidays. Instead, just go to your local pet store and buy some toys and goodies and bring them to your local animal rescue. The kitties will thank you!

Cat expert and animal communicator JaneA Kelley is the webmaster and chief cat slave for Paws and Effect, a weekly cat advice column by cats, for cats and their people.

    Here’s a short poem I wrote about the first little Kitty I rescued when I was 8 years old.

    FOREVER

    I found a little kitten,
    My Mom said, “She’s a stray.”
    I asked, “Mom, can I keep her?”
    My Mom said, “For today.”

    The kitty came to bed with me,
    We had a pillow fight.
    I asked, “Mom, can I keep her?”
    My Mom said, “For tonight.”

    The kitty chased me ‘round the house.
    We both played hide and seek,
    I asked, “Mom, can I keep her?”
    My Mom said, “For the week.”

    The kitty found a ball of yarn,
    We shared our woolly toy,
    I asked, “Mom, can I keep her?”
    My Mom said, “She’s a joy.”

    “I guess she has no family,
    I think we should endeavour,
    To keep her safe and warm and loved,
    Let’s keep her, Son…
    …Forever.”
