Description In Pursuance Of Books Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
A CAT’S A CAT!Before a Cat will condescend
To treat you as a trusted friend,
Some little token of esteem
Is needed, like a dish of cream;
And you might now and then supply
Some caviare, or Strassburg Pie,
Some potted grouse, or salmon paste -
He’s sure to have his personal taste.
A Cat’s entitled to expect
These evidences of respect.

If you're a cat-lover (as I am), then this is a must-read for you! This is a charming book written in verse, and each chapter is dedicated to a different kind of cat with its own kind of personality. This just goes to show how many personalities a cat can really have and I loved it :)So I learnt something new on the first day of 2020... thanks to my Mum, I know now that this collection of fun and light-hearted poems on cats inspired the famous musical Cats. My favourite poem was the one on Macavity which was fun to read aloud and create some good rhythm to it. The rhyming for the majority of the poetry worked really well for me.
So, I'm really more of a dog guy, and I don't know if that's the reason or if it was the horribly ridiculous musical or what, but despite considering T.S. Eliot as one of my favorite poets during my college days and despite owning a copy of this book for at least fifteen years, I'd never read these poems until today.I'm curious what motivated Eliot to write these funny and clever little ditties for kitties--the writer feels more like Edward Lear than the elusive, erudite author of "The Hollow

Old T.S. Eliot really could do it all; he could write poetry to suit any mood or occasion. You want a hellish descent into the despair of a lonely, middle-aged man? Fine, heres The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1915). You want the definitive, epic setting-forth of the bleak modernist abyss, with countless literary and cultural allusions blasting at you in bits and pieces, like a radio forever set on Seek? Alright, heres The Waste Land (1922). And if all you want is a series of whimsical
I plucked this from a Faber 90th anniversary display in my local library. A number of the names and rhymes were culturally familiar for me even though Id not read it before. Many of the poems have refrains, so its easy to see why they lent themselves to use in a musical (Cats). The Naming of Cats, the first poem and one of the best known, tells us that every cat has a secret name known only to itself, so when it seems lost in profound meditation (what my husband and I call being on standby), its
