Little Kitteh! Little Kitteh! burning bright, In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye, could frame thy fearful symmetry?
Was it the will of the Master of the Universe alone that gave life to man? Or did Adam — in the manner of LK above, gazing with longing through the seemingly impenetrable window that separated them — reach out to slip the surly bonds of earth to put out his hand/paw and touch the face of God/Tuck?
Update: Wordplay in the comments:
Chickelit: Heh. I am FeMale (iron man).
Connecticut Yankee: Actually, cats are a compound of iron, lithium, and neon: FeLiNe. (They're strong, they're great mood stabilizers, and they certainly light up our lives!)
Update 8 years later: Simon's Cat on twitter likes our post! #CatMenDo

More vitreous humor from "The Sermon on the Muntin":
Glazing between four wind eyes of the souls,
Let us make cat in our own reflection!

Touche' Connecticut Yankee--I can't top that one!

Connecticut Yankee is my new hero. She needs to meet Buddy and Rusty - the two marauders who grace my home. They are at present sitting nose to nose on the railing of my screened porch, staring intently into each other's eyes! They do this at least once per day and I've yet to discern what is going on with this! More inscrutable catability one would venture to guess! I just know they have calmed down from their Tuesday earthquake experience which discomfited Buddy not a wit and sent Rusty into a two hour huddle beneath my bed!

The last pic of Tuc and LK "paw to paw" is now my desktop pic. Too heartwarming to ignore!
