Purrfect Symphony:
Mittens! If you’re reading this (and let’s face it, you’re an intelligent cat so you just might be browsing these pages) I have some good news for you. That dream you have of getting a record deal might not be as difficult as we had previously thought.
This CD features 8 tracks which help you to relax, energise and improve your health and well being. You can even use the CD as background music for yoga and/or meditation. It’s basically the sound of cats purring.
I buy relaxation music. I’ve got recordings of whale music, dolphin sounds and even the sound of wolves. I like using music to help me relax. There are more things in heaven and earth than our dreamt of in my philosophy and each to their own. I also want to publicise this CD because purchasing this CD helps raise money for animal charities. I stayed up late last night to watch “My Weapon is a Dog” on BBC Three and I wish I hadn’t. The programme was brilliant but the images of dogs who had been used by the tiny minority of scum out there who use dogs as weapons and/or involve the animals in fights were enough to assault my values and my emotions. I had to exert a lot of control over myself to make sure I didn’t throw up and or cry my eyes out. I’m not exactly a “dog person”. I love dogs but I doubt I’d make a good dog owner. It just breaks my heart when animals who have done no harm to anyone are hurt and humiliated by the waste that humanity has tried to get rid of for years but can never quite scrape off the bottom of its shoe.
Don’t get me wrong. If you think that defending animals involves causing hurt, harm and/or humiliation to people or property, you and I share no common bond or ideology. Human beings have a responsibility not to cause harm and to promote peace, love and understanding. I know that makes me sound like I’ve swallowed the “new age pill” and you’ll soon find me sitting in a Wigwam in my back garden surrounded by oddly shaped pots, pans and- for some reason- a flute. But, grounded as I am in the rational world, I have my beliefs. I am one voice amongst millions and that is the way it should be. But that won’t stop me speaking. Speaking with honesty, power, determination and- above all- respect and understanding. Anything else is an example of a failed communication.
