If you’d like something a bit different, special and customized and have the equipment (most have) you might like these bookmarks. You have to be anti-declaw, but what is the barrier to being anti-declaw?
Ruth (aka Kattaddorra), who created them, says this:
I’ve designed them on A4 so they would only need to put a piece of A4 card in, print the front, turn it over and put it in the same way and print the back in the matching colours. It makes 5 bookmarks per page. If anyone also laminated each one after they cut them out, they would look even better….
[Note 1: A4 is a standard UK paper size for office and home work. It is probably very similar to USA sizes.]
[Note 2: the front and back of each bookmark is on the same level on this page – i.e. left and right on each line]
Note from Michael:
If you click on the thumbnail images (small images that lead to larger ones) you are taken to a large format picture. Right click your mouse on it and select “save image as” (Mac) or the equivalent on a PC. It looks like this:
Download the image to desktop and print it out as explained by Ruth. You’ll need a decent ink jet printer with quality ink and some photo quality paper to print on (ideally). I’ll presume that the alignment between back and front is perfect. If you do this and encounter a problem, please tell us.
If anyone has any ideas about products like this that PoC can get involved in, please leave a comment.
If there is anything anyone thinks PoC could sell online, in the interests of cat welfare, please leave another comment! I am interested in doing something like that.
I discovered a new cat (Rusty Spotted Cat) for Kutch, North west Gujarat

To put it simply it’s a healing or soothing energy which comes through the person doing it 🙂
When I was working in outpatient physical therapy many, many patients stated that I had really good manual therapy skills. I was surprised. I didn’t think my technique was as good as it could be and unlike some PTA’s I won’t do joint mobilizations since APTA says we shouldn’t. Then one day the supervising PT said she didn’t want to do manual therapy on a patient because she had a migraine and was going through some stress with a situation with her son that day and she felt she would make the patient feel worse. She felt that you can actually transmit tension to a patient by giving a massage when you are in pain or tense. She claims she has firsthand experience of this. When I do manual therapy I clear my mind completely and relax, focusing only on that patient, on the tight muscles I’m working on. My clinical instructor told me not too talk too much while doing manual therapy– just let the patient relax. After he said that I started to relax myself while doing it– even though sometimes I’m pushing very hard to release trigger points– I’m still mentally relaxed. So in a way I may have been doing very basic Reiki without knowing it.
Yes I think you were Ruth!
There are special Reiki CDs of beautiful relaxing music and I also have ‘Timeless Sea’ which is classical music with the sound of the sea in the background, it’s very calming.
Ruth you could sing to your patients, you have a beautiful voice.
I sing to the cats and birds now, I used to sing quietly to our late mother when she was poorly and it soothed her.
If I had a beautiful voice I’d liked to have sung at funerals to bring comfort to the bereaved.
What is Reiki?
Mary, a person I know, wrote a page about Reiki for cats, a while ago:
