Description

Today's post is for you dear Shaun...oh, and of course, Moggiebot :o) Lotsa Hugs, Mina * * * THE NAMING OF CATS T.S.Eliot The naming of cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter When I tell you a cat must have three different names. First of all, there's the name that the family uses daily, Such as Victor, or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey-- All of them sensible everyday names. There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter, Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames; Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter-- But all of them sensible everyday names. But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular, A name that is peculiar, and more dignified, Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride? Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as Munkustrap, Quazo or Coripat, Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellyrum-- Names that never belong to more than one cat. But above and beyond there's still one name left over, And that is the name that you will never 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 rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular Name. * * * Wishing you all a great day !!! ~ Love & Hugs ~ * Mina *

"Thousands of years ago, cats were worshiped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this." - Anonymous Very cool one Mina and, indeed, Bombalurina is a suitable cat name. Hugs!!!
