Cat Be Good

Hello! 

I'm Annie Bruce of Boulder, Colorado. Welcome to Good Cats Wear Black.

I dance at Motion Underground Dance Company 

(Annie left, Chris Moore right, choreographer &  instructor. Motion Underground, Cirque De Funk Show, 2003)

I am 51 years old and have owned cats all my life. I train cats to come when called, stay in the yard, walk on leash, sit quietly while I trim their nails and use the scratching post.  

It takes very little to get a cat to listen. Cats are very smart and easy to train.  Cats learn without squirt bottles, clickers, declawing or food treats. I wrote Cat Be Good to show you that you don't need to spend a lot of time or money to own a great, fun loving cat. 

Blessings,
Annie Bruce

Annie Bruce's Prayer for Cats

Please God stop each and every cat from getting declawed. Please God make declawing end, for ALL animals including tigers, lions, cats, dogs, ferrets, rabbits and raccoons. (September 2006: the USDA determined that is a federal offense to declaw large cats and any wild animals including bears, ferrets and rabbits.)

Dear Lord, please help the millions of cats that are already declawed. I know they are in pain, getting abused, living in basements and dumped in alleys. Please God, help any cat that is declawed, spanked, abused, abandoned or in pain. In the name of the power of the Living Christ our Lord. Amen

Message from Annie Bruce: I dance because exercise helps my health and behavior but then again, I HAVE toes. Declawed cats don't. Declawed cats don't exercise like clawed cats. And they have phantom limb pain. (Declawing is an amputation of the cat's toes to the first knuckle of each joint.)

Cat Be Clawed
by Annie Bruce

(sing like rap song)

I feel so bad to be telling you this
Declawed cats bite, they growl and piss.   
Adopt clawed cats is what I say
Don’t mess with cats that aren’t God made.
Clawed cats are smart and easy to train
Compared to vets, cats got way more brain.  

Say “Hey there, cat doctor!” Annie Bruce said,
“Stop declawing! Or I’ll look elsewhere instead.”
A guy or gal who thinks more of cats.
They’ll want first class homes. Not ‘last resort’ threats.
And please tell us why these cats get so moody?
Oh well, they’re “just cats.”
AVMA kiss my booty.

Cats are smart. Clawed cats are great!
Cats need their claws and they need OUR strength.
To end this abuse takes more than me
To end it now takes us all you see?
Last resorts aren’t the way to go
If you want it to end, we all must say “NO!”

So if you want a cat that’s gonna be good
And safe around your friends and ‘hood.
Black clawed males are the very best
How declaws act, is any fools guess.
Besides all that, if something happens to you,
Wouldn’t you want your cat to pull through?
Feed, exercise and just talk to him right.
Neuter ‘n spay.
He won’t pee. She won’t bite.  

Cats are smart. Cats are good
Cats kill mice in the neighborhood
Cats need claws to exercise
Cats needs vets humane and wise.

Dedicated to Moses and all declawed cats who have suffered.
