Fluff, the Cat

Sat, 16 Jun 2001 09:16:35 +0000

Fluff, the cat is my own pet
She’s cuddle-y and so soft
She loves to feast on fish and milk
And snooze upon the loft.

Fluff is bright and really smart
And so alert all day
When she prowls around the house
The mice just run away!

The Three Kittens

The white cat said, ‘I’m fair as snow’
The black cat said, ‘I shine!’
The tabby said, ‘well, that’s alright
But the bowl of cream is MINE!’

The black cat said, ‘I’m warm as wool’
The white said, ‘I’m like silk!’
The tabby said, ‘say what you will,
I’m off to drink that milk!’

The Language of a Cat

The poet Carl Sandburg wrote, “The fog comes in on little cat feet.” So do a large number of our words and expressions. Let’s think of the cats that run and leap and pounce and slink and purr and meow through the English language.

There are a number of explanations for the phrase, “it’s raining cats and dogs”? Cats and dogs were closely associated with the rain and wind in the western mythology. Dogs were often pictured as the attendants of Odin, the storm god, and cats were believed to cause rain.
