Cats are mysterious creatures....of course they have more than one
name....if you know cats, you know this. for my Angel Cat, Tico is his
earthly name; Coco is his nickname; his third name only he and I know, but
on a different level. If you don't understand now, you will when you
expand to a higher level!

This poem is about human beings and their understanding and expression of
who they truly are. Just as each cat holds its name secret so do we hold
our true identities secret and hide under the name that those around us
have given.

this is a decent poem....but it does actually have a meaning...it is the
meaning of your name...Eliot uses cats to reprsent humans, and what their
name means to them...

"No ordinary man could think that cats had secret names."
What? Are you nuts? Anyone who's ever owned a cat would know this. Don't
be stupid!

I love this poem. It seems to me, not much different today. If a person
shows cats or dogs, the usually have a name the family calls them and then
the name used in showing the cat or dog. Of course Cats more than dogs
have the name that no one else knows. Cats are more secret and spiritual,
so of course they wouldn't tell anyone their special name that only they
know.

This poem is one of the secrets of the great seducers. If a young man
recites this poem from memory and can make a nourishing soup from scratch,
he will never lack someone to love.

they gave us for the school's olympiad in english to comment this
poem.....yeap, the poem is baffling but it was a silly thing to give it as
a subject...there are no hidden meanings in this poem, the are no ancestral
thoughts, there is nothing special, nor peculiar about this poem....frankly
i hate it...and i hate all those examinateurs, too......i won't pass the
olympiad because of this stupid shitty poem,,,,, well, that's all. to
conclude, i didn't like the poem....someone should better try to rewrite
it....bye!

T.S. Eliot has a very unique writing style that is all his own. This
particular poem makes me think about what he was thinking when he wrote it,
and how the idea came about his mind. No ordinary man could think that
cats had secret names. His poems are very peculiar, but yet, they are very
entertaining and fun. I loved this play too. I saw it on Broadway, and the
cats walked down the eisles while saying this poem. I had to memorize it
for school too, so i was saying it in my head as they said it.
