thought for the evening

  But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,

           And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
            But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess
 When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
            The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
            Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name;
                       His ineffable effable
                       Effanineffible
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

Elliot knew cats. Have a good rest of the weekend, my friend.

The cat is confident in himself.

I like this. 🙂

good thought. Hey, we have a house guest and his name is tigger. I get to love a kitty for a couple days. It’s cool. He is 15 and likes me…

Being familiar with “Old Possum’s” book regarding cats, you have always struck me as a deadringer for Mr. Mistoffelees. 😉
