Fantastical painting. A ginger cat wearing a ruffed cloak directs by gaze a seabird. The black and white seabird flies through a hoop, which is gold with a red bead. Background is sunset sea and sky. Colours are rich and golden.

'If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.'

Doris Lessing, On Cats

‘O wombat, agile, joyful, how have you grown, furry and round! Ah do not flee like a vagabond, do not vanish, burrowing through the world: it's really the weight of a hemisphere, not a light burden.’ ~ Christina Rossetti Illustration of wombat at top.

Jellicle Cats come one come all:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright—
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball.'

I love this poem. Our two boys definitely have more than three names though - especially when you add in the fact I get the kids and the cats names muddled up too! 🙀

Vintage photo of a woman sat in a chair with three cats - one curled up on her lap; she's holding one in her arms; another is perched on her left shoulder. The woman is looking directly at the camera.

"The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,

It isn’t just one of your holiday games;

You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter

When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. ..." 1/2

🐾T.S. Eliot, The Naming of Cats #BookWormSat

Thanks Kaye!

Randomly saw your post yesterday and bought it immediately. 😻

Very much appreciated! I hope you enjoy it! 😺

😻😻😻This has made my day! (Also wish I lived closer @bookhaus.bsky.social as I'd be there quicker than our cats when they hear the treat pot open!)
