Comments on: Mr Pussy Thinks He Is A Dog https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/07/21/mr-pussy-thinks-he-is-a-dog-2/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 23 Jul 2018 06:42:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Judi Jones https://spitalfieldslife.com/2018/07/21/mr-pussy-thinks-he-is-a-dog-2/#comment-1217045 Mon, 23 Jul 2018 06:42:40 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=167706#comment-1217045 A quote from Barbara L Diamond says ” if there were to be a universal sound for peace, I would surely vote for the cat’s purr”.

And so would I.

And it again makes me think how desperately you must miss Mr Pussy and his daily rituals. My mother recently lost her beloved black cat and is bereft without having to go through their daily ‘protocols’, especially the after lunch loving session while she is taking her nap.

I love the blog, interesting and well written I look forward to reading a new (or old) tale. Could you stars a Gofundme Page?

Hope this is a world wide success – it totally deserve to be. I sent my sister and a friend the last two ‘Mr Pussy’s’ and they raved about him so I may come back for more copies for them in due course.

No ‘Mr Pussy and his Gentle Owner’ film? Could include lots about Spitalfiends – surely a winner now that everyone is feeling nostalgic for saner (if poorer) times gone by.

Yet in a way, through your words and prose, I feel in some ways that I have. I have ordered two copies of your book, one for me and one for my mother, but I can never read the report on his final day without choking up and being brought to tears, the greatest testimony of the love between human and animal I have ever come across.

Cat behaviour is peculiar; there is a fine line between joy and anger which I often accidentally transgress. While I can understand dog behaviour quite easily, cats perplex me. The following around the house is familiar to me and I assume it means Susan wants to be with me but I do often feel I am being observed and checked instead. I suppose, with cats, you know when they don’t like you because they will take off and go – nothing personal, mate, but pastures new. Non-cat lovers just don’t get the allure. The rest of us are blinded by it.
