Sounds a lot better than X-People, doesn’t it?
And not as creepy, surely?
I’d say not, but would you stop calling me Shirley?
When have I been calling you?
And just what have you been calling him when you do?
Surely you can see I was talking to Catsie?

Do you honestly expect me to answer all these questions???
Are you blind when you’re born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?
Can you say of your bite that it’s worse than your bark?
Are you cock of the walk when you’re walking alone?
When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?
Are you tense when you sense there’s a storm in the air?
Can you find your way blind when you’re lost in the street?
Do you know how to go to the heaviside layer?
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?
Familiar with candle, with book, and with bell?
Were you Whittington’s friend? The Pied Piper’s assistant?
Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?

Can you sing at the same time in more than one key?

You got something against cats?
Isn’t Annie quoting, rather, from T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats?
Do I really have to Google for that?
Do you really need to Google for that?
Do you really want to Google for that?
Isn’t it actually from the stage musical? I looked in my copy of Old Possum’s Book, and found nothing like it; did any one else?
Now, just because I’m wondering, is the naming of cats a practical matter; not just one of your holiday games? Do you think I’m as mad as a hatter when I tell you each cat has three different names?
