[Magdalen] Update

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

Spending a lot of time playing with the cat can't hurt either.  Letting the
cat know he or she is valued is very important. I'm a believer in talking
things over with the cat. They may not be verbal, but they pick up a lot
from what you say even if they do not always get the exact meaning. Respect
is important too.
