The Naming of Cats by TS Eliot

Jane

Do you know where the musical CATS came from...some of you will and some won't.  Well - the famous musical...sure many of you have seen its, came from a book of poems by the American born poet TS Eliot- called OLD POSSUMS BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS.   And look where that took him -  to Andrew Lloyd Webber and his classic musical.   Brilliant men, both and I, for one am glad they found each other.

Here is one of TS Eliot's Cat poems - THE NAMING OF CATS.  It is a delight and for me conjures up those irrisitible, difficult, independent little animals.
