"With Cats, some say, one rule is true: Don't speak till you are spoken to. Myself, I do not hold with that -I say, you should ad-dress a Cat.But always keep in mind that heResents familiarity.I bow, and taking off my hat,Ad-dress him in this form: O Cat!But if he is the Cat next door,Whom I have often met before(He comes to see me in my flat)I greet him with an oopsa Cat!I think I've heard them call him James -But we've not got so far as names."
