The Voice of a Cat: second edition

by Corey Miller

Overview

"Your Guidebook to Taking Care of Cats"

Corey adopted a large wayward kitty his young nephew named Happy. She was a kind, gentle and appreciative orange tabby. For Christmas, Corey bought and wrapped some kitty toys for her, one of which was a tan, fragrant, burlap bag of catnip printed with "Catnip XXX." The family had for each of many years, a real Douglas Fir Christmas tree. It was decorated with color C7 twinkle bulbs and heirloom Christmas ornaments. One year, a neighbor gave a brief honk as he drove by while it was being decorated. It was very beautiful. On the night of Christmas Eve, Corey let Happy come into the living room to open her presents under the tree. She sniffed the wrapping as Corey opened it, even more after she had the unwrapped toy. Corey held the toy as she nuzzled it for a good, long time. Happy looked up at him appreciatively. She knew no fear, and a visiting relative said the kitty was very cool. Yes, as they were all, Corey's family cats were kind, content and fearless. You can read about them in this informative and inspiring guide, interspersed with many photos dating as far back as the '70s.

At home and with his truck, Corey is deeply involved in emergency preparedness of all kinds, and has been an associate member of an international emergency response communications organization since 2008. He has a solar and battery-backed four-transceiver Ham Radio base station with which he operates both voice and digital, local and worldwide.

Beginning when he was seven-years-old at his school in Irvine, California, computing has been a vital passion for Corey. He has been programming in assembly language since 1985, and currently programs in PowerPC Assembly Language and C++. He collects vintage Apple hardware and software, and plans to move to the newer Apple computers for his programming.

Some of his other interests include collecting books, Carl Barks comics, and Star Wars memorabilia. He has a full, homemade costume of Darth Vader constructed and patterned after the original in The Art of Star Wars show in San Francisco, California (1995); the Darth Vader costume in front of Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Nevada; and the Star Wars exhibit at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, California.

In his spare time, Corey enjoys learning about foods of all kinds, and has twenty-six recipes in his répertoire, fifteen of which are his own. For two days at a time, he prepares and bakes a 3-1/4 pound dark fruitcake, sans alcohol, for the Christmas holidays, friends and family.
