Om katter

skrev T.S.Eliot i "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Här ett exempel på hur katter bör tilltalas;

With Cats, some say, one rule is true
Don't speak till you are spoken to.
Myself, I do not hold with that-
I say, you should ad-dress a cat.
But always keep in mind that he
Recent familiarity.
I bow, and taking off my hat,
Ad-dress him in his form: O CAT!
