T.S. Elliot has captured the essence of cats in this wonderful, easy-read book of Poems. My favorite T.S. Elliot quote: "The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore: When you let him in, then he wants to be out; He’s always on the wrong side of every door, And as soon as he’s at home, then he’d like to get about."

Funny how a book of poems about cats became one of the longest running stage shows. As I read each poem I hear the tune and can't help singing.
