A Cat Has Nine Lives
An old Irish legend talks about Cat Nights and how a witch
could turn herself into a cat eight times and then become a
witch again, but on the ninth time she couldn’t change
back. This is the origin for the saying that a cat has nine lives.
Some other cat sayings are: When a cat washes her face, it is
a sign of rain ... or good weather ...
or that company is coming. If a cat
looks out the window, it’s looking
for ram. You can tell the time of day
from the size of a cat’s pupils.
Bathing a cat will bring rain. Sleep
ing with a cat Wll bring good luck or . . cats suck the breath
of sleepers. Cats can see ghosts. Seeing a black cat is bad
luck, but it's lucky to own one.
■KnngevmM
Well knows the cat whose ear she licks. Cats, like
men are flatterers. —French Proverb
ns- Protect wildlife in your backyard by preserving natural
holes and cavities in dead or dying trees for wildlife use.
EAMWISE
Your own compost heap is
the best way to make good
fertilizer and reduce the
garbage that you throw away
Start by piling grass clippings
and leaves in a corner of your
yard and turn the pile with a
pitchfork periodically. Keep
a container tn your kitchen
for vegetable scraps and put
them in the pile, too. When
your pile is three feet high,
start a new one while the first
decomposes. Keep turning
the pile and you’ll notice in
six to 12 months that it’s half
its original size and the com
post is black in color and
ready to use.
