Merry Christmas from the Cat Family – by animaster2 on devianArt

December is coming to a close – enjoy the furry finale of this month’s feline art:

” I am the cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.”

Born today in 1865 author and artist Rudyard Kipling.

Below: Kipling illustration for his short story “The Cat that Walked by Himself” (1902).

Below that: Kipling poem: “Pussy can sit by the fire and sing”.

Pussy can sit by the fire and sing,
Pussy can climb a tree
Or play with a silly old cork and string
To ‘muse herself, not me.
But I like Binkie my dog, because
He knows how to behave;
So, Binkie’s the same as the First Friend was,
And I am the Man in the Cave!
Pussy will play Man Friday till
It’s time to wet her paw
and make her walk on the window-sill
(For the footprint Crusoe saw);
Then she fluffles her tail and mews,
And scratches and won’t attend
But Binkie will play whatever I choose,
And he is my true First Friend!
Pussy will rub my knees with her head
Pretending she loves me hard;
But the very minute I go to my bed
Pussy runs out in the yard,
And there she stays till the morning-light;
So I know it is only pretend
And he is my Firstest Friend
