The naming of Kittens
Our old cat has kittens three -
what do you think their names should be!
One is tabby with emerald eyes,
and a tail that's long and slender,
and into a temper she quickly flies
if you ever by chance offend her.
I think we shall call her this -
I think we shall call her that -
Now, don't you think that pepperpot
is a nice name for a cat?
One is black with a frill of white,
and her feet are all white fur,
if you stroke her she carries her tail upright
and quickly begins to purr.
I think we shall call her this -
I think we shall call her that -
Now, don't you think that sootikin
is a nice name for a cat?
One is tortoiseshell yellow and black,
with plenty of white about him;
if you tease him, at once he sets up his back,
he's a quarrelsome one, ne'er doubt him.
I think we shall call him this -
I think we shall call him that -
Now, don't you think that scratchaway
is a nice name for a cat?
Thomas Hood (1799 - 1845)
Here are the names of my cats
Tommi - the
Sam - my gipsy
Franz - the oldest (24 years old) and the king of all of them
Lisa - the lazy cat
Luna - coloured like the moon with yellow eyes, she is so thankfull I took her to my home
Lilly - my little hobbit
Mousy - the rascal
Emma - the cuddliest of all of them
Minnie - the Diva
Frida - my kitchen assistent, she loves potatoes most and knows every recipe for potatoes ..
Right at this moment they are here beside me -
Tommi, Lisa and Minnie sitting on a chair
Sam and Lilly sitting on my lap
the rest of them sitting on the floor, watching me. And they know all of your works - they know all the wonderful pictures AND the stories ... I can't resist reading out loud.
I'm glad to have them around ... and I'm glad having you around
