The interesting part in the poem is how a cat is just like a crook and does
the vanishing act everytime and is far away from the scene of crime.It is
wonderful to see the cat is wonderfully human.

I've always loved this poem by T.S. Eliot, ever since I was a little child.
It is one of my absolute favorite (as a matter of fact, I own the book
"Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats") that I could still cite most of it
from memory and I now share with my students. However, I have to comment
on whomever posted this, for he/she failed to check the spelling. There
are many spelling errors!

I used this in school. The verse that describes Macavity is very vivid.
The students drew pictures depicting the size, shape, color ect. It is a
great example of imagery.

McCavity is the feline incarnation of Professor James Moriarty, the
Napoleon of Crime in the Sherlock Holmes stories of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle.
Both McCavity and Moriarty have high domed foreheads. Their heads oscillate
like a snake's.
Both are masters of complicated long division sums and other aspects of
mathematics.
Both names are Irish.
Moriarty's criminal activity is not suspected by Scotland Yard, therefore,
like McCavitiy's, his fingerprints aren't in their files.
Moriarty and McCavity have minions who do the work and are known to
Scotland Yard - so when they reach the scene of crime, McCavity and
Moriarty aren't there!
