That is a lovely cat quote, Gypsy. Thank you. My Irish name is Grainne, pronounced Grawn-ya, incidentally, with the accent on the first syllable, all spoken softly. It is Irish for my middle name. I guess you did catch me talking about chest fur again, but only to suggest that I had a very different idea of what was sexually desirable in a mate than George might find appealing. I promise it will not happen again!! ;^) How about a nice cat poem, while we are at it? This one fascinates me, because it was written by an Irish monk during the eighth century, and yet everything about it is as if it happened yesterday: Pangur Ban I and Pangur Ban, my cat, 'Tis a like task we are at; Hunting mice is his delight, Hunting words I sit all night. Better far than praise of men 'Tis to sit with book and pen; Pangur bears me no ill will, He too plies his simple skill. "Tis a merry thing to see At our tasks how glad are we, When at home we sit and find Entertainment to our mind. Oftentimes a mouse will stray In the hero Pangur's way; Oftentimes my keen thought set Takes a meaning it its net. 'Gainst the wall he sets his eye Full and fierce and sharp and sly; 'Gainst the wall of knowledge I All my little wisdom try. When a mouse darts from its den O how glad ins Pangur then! O what gladness do I prove When I solve the doubts I love! So in peace our tasks we ply, Pangur ban, my cat, and I; In our arts we find our bliss, I have mine and he has his. Practice every day has made Pangur perfect in his trade; I get wisdom day and night Turning darkness into light.
