I am enchanted by our language and enjoy finding the different uses of it in different English speaking countries.<br />Cats will do what cats will do and trying to help them out can lead to serious trouble and not for the cat as a rule. Loved that poem. So clever.<br />I am now 82 but (except when standing up which I have problems with because of my arthritis) I don't feel much older than I did at 35 or 45 or 55.
