If I had had my way that day, this cat would have come home to stay:

Much-loved Mungo would have been surprised

But their effortless elegance of line, celebrated since Cleopatra’s time

Makes them an elegant addition: to office, bedroom or chic kitchen.

Grace Coddington has one, and his hat is rather fun.

Jonathon Adler’s slick kitties, well they could practically purr over your dishes.

And as I said the one I spied, deserved a loving home, I hate to think he’s all alone.

The moral of the story is:

When the purr-fect kitty’s seen – make sure your the cat who got the cream.

All images my own, kind of inspired by Hilaire Belloc’s Cautionary Tales.
