Nicknames: El Senor don Gato, Macavity
Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw -
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air -
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!
Memories of Rascal:
- When we brought him home, he was small enough to fit in my shoe.
- He would follow us everywhere, even out to the school bus stop, and we worried he wouldn't be able to find his way back.
- My sister Amy was his special person, and when she lived at home he preferred to sleep on her bed.
- Once leaped on the back of a dog to "protect" my mother. The dog was confused.
- In his youth, was a Mighty Hunter who brought back rabbits, birds, moles, dragons, etc. as gifts for us.
- Enjoyed getting stoned on catnip grown by dad in the front garden. He'd sit on top of it for hours and hours...
- Loved being picked up and held, and especially enjoyed being scratched under his chin.
I'll miss Rascal and his late brother, Smudge. They were both loved very much.
