Cats of Many Colors

Selling Natural Scratch over the years has put me in touch with an amazing number of cat people and an even more amazing variety of cats. The stories I've heard or read are pretty amazing. Cat's that will eat just about anything to those that hardly eat anything.

Extremely fussy and solitary cats to those that are nearly as happy-go-lucky as a typical dog.

Just as cats come in many colors so do their personalities. Some run terrified from running water, others enjoy lapping it directly from a lavatory faucet. Humans have told me about cats that *guard* Natural Scratch so their companions can't get at it. But then there are those with multiple cats who enjoy clawing the post at the same time.

The takeaway from this is as someone who is trying to live with a cat, it's important to realize that you have to learn the cat's personality and what motivates it in order to understand how to train it.

An Amazing Customer

Every customer is wonderful naturally but some go beyond that to *amazing*.

A lady in California who has ordered a number of posts for herself and at least one relative has beautiful handwriting. I noticed this some years ago when she sent a video to me. The address label with my name, etc. was a work of art that I framed and still have on display.

After she ordered a cork post, she liked it to the point that she sent some preserves and sweetbreads in return. Very kind of her. She also sent a note about the Cork Natural Scratch that I scanned and put on my Web site at 

Have a look; JanYce is amazing.

Writer, Too

Way before I designed and began marketing Natural Scratch, I was a writer and in fact my primary income since 1984 has resulted from freelance work.

In recent years, I have begun writing feature pieces and have been fortunate enough to have several published.  Please see schaarcommunications.com for samples.

Recently, I completed a story about clever songs that I titled simply "Witty Songs."

Twenty-one are featured and each one includes a video or mp3 files of the song performed.  I invite you to have a look at http://www.wittysongs.com.
