My Cats
Cats
The cat went here and there
And the moon spun round like a top,
And the nearest kin of the moon,
The creeping cat, looked up.
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
For, wander and wail as he would,
The pure cold light in the sky
Troubled his animal blood.
Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindered meet,
What better than to call a dance?
Maybe the moon may learn,
Tired of that courtly fashion,
A new dance turn.
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
From moonlit place to place,
The sacred moon overhead
Has taken a new phase.
Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils
Will pass from change to change,
And that from round to crescent,
From crescent to round they range?
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.
"The Cat and the Moon" by W.B. Yeats
My Own Cats
Ruthven - Long, sleek, thin, pyramid-shaped face with sphinx expressiveness
Armand - Soft, cushy, fluffy, wimpy, draws affection & purrs incessantly
George - Ancient, calico, green-eyed warrior who roamed through the night - may his soul Rest in Wonder
Vicious - Grey, little, vicious feline - sincerly attached to nobody, but enjoys fist-fighting and hissing profusely
Sebastian - Aloof, mischievous kitty - very mushy, albeit disagreeable cuddler whenever, perchance, he is caught
Vi Vi - My Pretty, A grey striped, svelty, cautious cat - sincerly, and perversely, attached to Sebastian
Ziggy - A fluke of nature - a Litter of One, whose own mother was Vicious and did not even want to nurse it - Cute, but hard to tell it's a cat
