The Naming of Cats

'The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES'. The first poem in Eliot's 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats' is a brilliant introduction to the fabulous world of Cats, featuring names such as Bombalurina and Munkustrap.
