With Cats, some say, one rule is true:
Don’t speak till you are spoken to.
Myself, I do not hold with that —
I say, you should ad-dress a Cat.
But always keep in mind that he
Resents familiarity.
I bow, and taking off my hat,
Ad-dress him in this form: O Cat!
But if he is the Cat next door,
Whom I have often met before
(He comes to see me in my flat)
I greet him with an oopsa Cat!
I think I've heard them call him James —
But we've not got so far as names.”
― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

This Weeks Visiting Countries
I am listing the countries perusing this blog in the last seven days - by order of number of 'hits' - the way that 'BlogSpot' lists this information suggests that it is possible that there are more countries than shown for they always list only ten. As always I am pleased that I get browsers from outside the United States. This present visitor summary seems to be from Europe and North America. I hope that those sometime browsers from South America, the Caribbean, Asia, and the Pacific areas come again. Thank You, Himself!
Also note that there is a translator key at the upper left.
