mass, thus allowing it to complete its progress through the digestive tract; but one should always be on the lookout for symptoms of this annoying and sometimes serious problem. To aid in the prevention of this condition, as well as to keep a cat healthy and constipation free, a bowl of water should always be available—and it should be changed mornings and evenings. Most people are surprised when told many cats prefer water instead of milk, and that water in most cases is better for them. All cats should be groomed (brushed and combed) every day to prevent the swallowing of loose hair. Short-haired felines are in need of this grooming just as are the long-haired variety. It is surprising how many people have pets of one kind or another and do not take the trouble to find out how to care for them—the sort of conditions which are most suitable, the kind of diet they need, etc. Just like humans, most if not all creatures suffer from a feeling of loneliness if neglected for too long; and this goes for the fish in an aquarium, a bird in a cage, as well as the larger ‘animals’ who walk around on all fours. It is widely acknowledged that house plants thrive much better in an atmosphere of friendliness, when the so-called owners talk to them and provide companionship. There is one thing many of us are guilty of, and that is in delaying getting professional help when we have a creature who is sick or does not seem to be well. Especially in the case of a cat, a day or even a few hours delay in treatment can make a great deal of difference to their satisfactory recovery. Veter- inarians are agreed upon this, and the other day, Dr. Randall (our present veterinarian) was talking about this aspect: ‘But ‘ he was quick to comment, ‘there is no danger of your cats being left too long without attention.’ He knows we consult him just to make sure the little people are doing all right. So the war progressed; and we were all tired of food and clothes rationing, and the shortage of petrol too. Reconstituted eggs do not make the best of meals for humans, and a little cat can get tired of eternally being offered canned pilchards in brine; and women, probably more than men, found it monoton- 38
ous and soul-destroying having to wear the same old clothes for too long. In those days I was very fond of nice clothes, and one found various ways of supplementing one's wardrobe: I happened to come into contact with a fashion editor of one of the London Sunday newspapers who accumulated a certain number of garments to be used in her job of reviewing. Since my size was average, the same as hers, I managed to obtain some of these articles which the lady was happy to dispose of and which boosted my ego tremendously. Finally, Miss Editor annoyed me somewhat by offering an attractive red woolen coat which she ‘just needed to keep a few days for a showing’, while in the meantime having second thoughts and withdrawing her offer. Just a little thing perhaps, but for a moment it angered me somewhat. T. Catt was very fond of flowers and we used to tease him about looking like Ferdinand the Bull, who just sat and smelled them. One day he and I had a session of seed plant- ing—we worked energetically and interestedly, and then we left them to nature so she and her helpers might bring them to fruition. At the appropriate time our efforts were rewarded, and we found ourselves with a glorious array of various-hued and over-sized pansies, in shades of blue, purple, orange and yellow; and some were the color of a Tiger Lily. Some people seem to be luckier than others in obtaining good results from their efforts at growing flowers; but then one wonders, ‘Is it perhaps not “luck” but something else alto- gether?’ Those people who have given a little thought and perhaps a little research on the subject may have something to say about the ‘green thumbs’ theory. What are green thumbs, and what is the reason for them? Were we to go into the subject ourselves we would realize that certain types of people have greener thumbs than the rest of us; and they are usually of the earthy type, such as the solid Taurus—born in May, a Virgoan whose birth date is in Sep- tember, or the January Capricorn. These people are in greater harmony with Mother Earth; and as they lovingly go about their horticultural activities their particular etheric emanations 39
