Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2004B & C & FSP - Casserole Capers
DH did it. He took the covered Indian Curry Casserole into the kitchen and left it on the bench instead of in the frig. This morning the lid was off and a scene of destruction met my eyes. What hadn't been eaten had been walked in! But who did it. There were three suspects. It was time to wring out a confession from the miscreant. I got out the paw-screws and bright lights. I lined them up and grilled them. Bonnie was the first to break. She broke into a bad case of hiccups. I have given her a suspended sentence. Sometimes the consequences of an act are worse than the deed! Bev  SignatureI believe in an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. Watch the litter tray!!!!!! Lois > DH did it.

If it was cardboard (notice I said was) have you replaced it yet? Do you have a metal commode and has it been etched yet by Bonnie's out put? Have you found a way to bag up the contents to ship to Hazel Az's soon to be ex-hubby? Hope he has health insurance if you have. Pam S. >> I dunno, how spicy was the Indian curry casserole?

That's what I love about you Pam, always thinking of others. <beg> I know soon to be ex does't have insurance. If you find out his address let me know too. :-) Hazel Az soon to be serving papers I really ought to know better than to read B&C posts while in class.

Macavity's a mystery cat; he's called the hidden paw For he's the master criminal who can defy the law He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flaying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there! Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there! Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin You'd know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there! He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's ***And when the larder's looted*** or the jewel case is rifled Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing. Macavity's not there! Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare Whatever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there! An they say of all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of Crime! Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square ***But when a crime's discovered then Macavity, Macavity Macavity, Macavity When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there! Macavity's not there!*** > <HIT it, maestro...> > Macavity!

He was wonderful in Cats and my other favourite was Rum Tum Tugger (on the wrong side of every door, lol).

Just GOTTA find it on DVD!] The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat If you offer me pheasant, I'd rather have grouse If you put me in a house, I would much prefer a flat If you put me in a flat, then I'd rather have a house If you set me on a mouse, then I only want a rat If you set me on a rat, then I'd rather chase a mouse The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for me to shout it For he will do as he will do And there's no doing anything about it The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore When you let me in, then I want to go out I'm always on the wrong side of every door And as soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about I like to lie in the bureau drawer And I make such a fuss if I can't get out The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for you to doubt it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything about it The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast My disobliging ways are a matter of habit If you ofer me fish, then I always want a feast When there isn't any fish, then I won't eat rabbit If you offer me cream, then I sniff and sneer For I only like what I find for myself So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears If you put it away on the larder shelf The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing The Rum Tum Tugger Doesn't care for a cuddle But I'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for me to spout it For he will do as he will do And there's no doing anything abou-ou-out it! > [NOTE: I ekshully wore out a VCR tape of Cats.

Because you get it cheaper?? We buy DVD's from all over the world, including Canada, and get them cheaper all the way to Finland than if buying them locally. Also sometimes the versions in other regions have better picture and sound quality, but for that you have to compare the info given, and, of course, have a multi-region DVD-player.

T.S. Eliot plainly meant Macavity as a homage to Moriarty, the arch-villian in several Sherlock Holmes stories (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Moriarty). The physical description, swaying motion, and nickname "the Napoleon of Crime" all match Conan Doyle's description of Moriarty, who was supposed to be a mathematician-turned-master-criminal who always worked through intermediaries.
