This month’s cat vocabulary is the term the cat’s whiskers which is an expression for a good thing. Of course a cat’s whiskers are good. They look great on the cat and keep them balanced no matter what physically activity they may be doing at the time.
It must have been one of those expressions thought up by a crazy cat person. Why else say something is good by simply saying it’s the cat’s whiskers?
A cat sees no good reason why it should obey another animal, even if it does stand on two legs. —Sarah Thompson
Cats are so independent that they don’t even care what we think about them. They know they don’t have to obey anyone. They don’t care if humans think they are the supreme beings on this planet. Cats can snub us and show us our correct place every time.
Cats are kindly masters, just so long as you remember your place. —Paul Gray
In my experience, cats are kind if you treat them with respect. If you are cruel to them, they will punish you with their claws and teeth. They know what is good treatment and what is bad treatment. We should listen to them.
This is the second to last financial monthly report. As you can see, nothing has changed much as far as the finances go.

One is never sure, watching two cats washing each other, whether it’s affection, the taste or a trial run for the jugular. —Helen Thomson
Cats aren’t predictable. One minute they are getting along. The next they are fighting. And then the next they are cuddled up to each other fast asleep. The cats I’ve lived with have proved that to me time and time again. I remember that with Sir Socks and Spot. They would play together. They would bathe each other. They’d wrestle and then they’d sleep together quietly.
Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this. —Anonymous
Why did we stop worshipping cats? They kill the rodents which could kill us with deadly diseases. They can be kind and loving to us. They can adopt us as honorary cats. Yet, too many want to claim cats are solely evil and don’t deserve such high esteem from us. There are cats who still take care of rodents around the world in different places. They deserve our respect, if not our worship.
This month’s cat vocabulary is a term known as the cat’s meow, which is an expression for something that is fabulous. A cat’s meow literally can be anything. Cats tend to be quiet, unless they are vocal ones. Then they sound might as if they are complaining all the time. People used to tell me Sir Socks was too whiny. But he was just stating what was wrong and he hoped I could take care of the problem.
But the cat’s meow is a good thing. For creatures who tend to be quiet and use stealth without much thought, their meow when it comes tends to be a good thing. They could just be saying hello to us or something else which can be a good thing to hear. Or it could be that something isn’t right with them and they want our help with it. I’m glad Sir Socks told all he needed to tell me. From him I learned how to take care of cats in general. Now when I deal with strange cats who need care, it’s easy to take care of them.
Another month is over and not much has changed. If nothing changes between now and October, then the last Financial Report I will do will be for September. Until then, this is how we’re doing.

This month’s cat vocabulary is a term from Twitter known as ambassacat which is a cat who defends their area from evil. There are hundreds of ambassacats on Twitter currently. Of course many have died and new ones take over. I have never lived with an ambassacat. I’m not sure Nuri would be interested.
But I do know Sir Socks Le Chat would pass as he is retired from the world.
The ambassacats are led by a cat known as Gladstone who works in the treasury department in London, United Kingdom. He is a rather dapper black cat with an unusual expression. He enjoys living and working there. He also encourages people to donate to less fortunate cats, as he himself was adopted from Battersea in his local area.
There are parties the ambassacats throw complete with the diplojet to pick the cats in different parts of the world. It’s quite the sight to see what they do on Twitter and all the things they do to keep their area safe from evil.
You own a dog but you feed a cat. —Jenny de Vries
Dogs can be so complacent compared to cats. They don’t mind having owners. They just want to keep us happy. Cats refuse to be owned by anyone. They let us feed them, but we can never own them. They don’t care if they make us happy. They just want us to serve them. They know who will serve them and who won’t.
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well. —Missy Dizick
Of course cats are sneaky and they kill bugs and mice. I’m glad they do. Mice can be dangerous to humans. Bugs can just be annoying. Cats can also be adorable at the same time they are sneaky. Or on a murderous rampage.
Another month is over and not much has changed. If nothing changes between now and October, then the last Financial Report I will do will be for September. Until then, this is how we’re doing.
