For the Cherub Cat is a term of the Angel Tiger...

The poetry chapter of AA100 is rolling round again so I'm rereading the Faber Book of Beasts.  Every year I marvel at

My Cat Jeoffry by Christopher Smart

Written in 17something when Smart was confined for insanity.  Best. Cat. Poem. Ever.

My favourite lines today:

For, tho he cannot fly, he is an excellent clamberer

You must visit our kitchen some time.

Thank you for the link! I've added it to my virtual commonplace book. :-)

What Michael means is that we have a poster of the poem in the kitchen. (Obtainable from this website: http://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/11/25/paul-bommer-christopher-smart-his-cat-jeoffry/ )

That is lovely. I was sorely tempted to order one right away. Oh for a cheap'n'cheerful mass produced version....

Oh, that's wonderful. Thanks!
