#4: I am of moderate size!
One of my favorite poems is "The Song of the Jellicles" by T.S. Elliot. Inca reminds me of this sweet poem, quoted (in parts, not in its entirety!) below. Sure he isn't a cat, but I like to think there are Jellicle Dogs as well, of which Inca would be one!
Jellicle Cats are black and white,
Jellicle Cats are rather small;
Jellicle Cats are merry and bright,
And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul.
Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces, Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes;
Jellicle Cats are rather small;
Jellicle Cats are merry and bright,
And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul.
Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces, Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes;
For size comparison, here is Inca licking some peanut butter off the top of a standard sized peanut butter jar. |
Jellicle Cats develop slowly,
Jellicle Cats are not too big;
Jellicle Cats are roly-poly,
They know how to dance a gavotte and a jig.

Now with a paper towel roll, again standard sized. |
Jellicle Cats are white and black,
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size;
Jellicle Cats jump like a jumping-jack,
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes.

Of course peanut butter can be tricky to eat sometimes!
Aw, he's only a wee lil fella!Such a cutie!
