I have a whole book of them. A very small book, but they are all fun. I love this kind of poetry.

Garry didn’t realize that “Cats” was based on the T.S. Eliot poems. He usually has read everything I’ve read and then some, not counting a lot of the junk I don’t like to admit I’ve read. So I feel like I’ve scored a point or something like that 🙂

Garry thought I was making it up when I said Eliot had written these funny cat poems. Hard to believe after trudging through The Wasteland.

I just called Macavity and Tabby came running – do you think it is a coincidence?

Watch out. He may be part of the gang. The Napoleon of Crime (cats) has an organization 🙂

Tabby doesn’t do parts, she takes over and organises. I think it has something to do with the catafia

Perhaps he IS Macavity and Tabby is just one of his many aliases?
