My Dad used to quote something that Kipling wrote about cats. I remember the first few words (possible small inaccuracy here): "I am the cat, who walks alone. And nothing.." and I don't remember a lick about the rest. Any help?

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

Kipling--won the Nobel Prize for Lit in 1907, despite his poem "White Man's Burden" being published in 1899. How times have changed! I know WMB is on the web cos I found it the other day. Well worth a search and read in view of current events. Truly. You will be amazed at the man's apparent foresight. Or the lack of lesson-learning since then. Just about anything of Kipling's is worth reading.

My own favorite poet, Ogden Nash, wrote:

The trouble with a kitten is that, It eventually becomes a cat.

If he wrote the words to "On the Road to Mandalay" (which I think he did), then the Boy's Glee Club of Welch Jr. High School, Ames IA, kipled a lot.

We're probably all secret kiplers.
