Nothing quite like having a good cat as a companion, I love them.
Miss Charlotte Purrkins Gilman agrees wholeheartedly!

Because she did not know the Def--

She checked the O.E.D.--
Her favorite Book upon the Shelf--
For Etymology.

She slowly searched--So many Words
In teeny tiny print--
She had to hold in her front Paws
The magnifying Glass.

She passed "Feline"--a Word she knew--
And pawsed to take it in--
"Beauty" and "Slyness" made her smile--
She looked them up as well.

Or rather--They looked Her--
She lost herself in all the Words
And did not see the knowledge that
Her study had conferred.

She landed on a Word that seemed
So contradictory--
The Latin Root was Rudis--Rude--
How contradictory!

She closed the Book and sat quite still
Glowing with Inner Light
Her Owner snapped the picture here--

A Feline Erudite.
