Cats as household gods

                                  Cats go their own way, and aren't really very reliable.
                                       Here are two short verses about cats from mythology. 
                                               I always felt a little sorry for Freya.


Freya                                                                    Bastet
oh, imagine the                                                     gentle, domestic,
inconvenience of a                                                protecting the house from mice
chariot drawn by cats                                            by crunching them up -->

  1. But one can put up with such a lot when creatures are as charming as cats (actually this applies to a lot of things)

  2. Charm certainly gives an unfair advantage!

  4. Dame Angela, you have charm in bucket loads, a fact that makes knowing you such a delight. However I would never label it your 'unfair advantage'. I think that maybe Francesca was referring less to charm than to guile, which is something you are entirely without. (-;

    perceptive person he is.
