A message I sent someone on Flickr

In amongst your photos I discovered a picture of a tabby cat with a white belly, named Rothko:

This gave me a bit of a shock, because here in my house in Pennsylvania lives a tabby cat with a white belly, named Rothko:

I assume that this is a coincidence, rather than that Rothko has discovered an interdimensional portal somewhere behind the litterbox, but I'm not feeling entirely certain on this point.

two for the price of one!

Today we have naming of cats. Yesterday
we had a game of chess. And tomorrow morning,
we shall have how to wear your trousers rolled. But today,
today we have naming of cats. The chessboard
waits, simple like one of our holiday games,
and today we have naming of cats.

This is the use-name. And this
is the particular name, whose use you will see
when you are given a cat. And this is the private name,
which in your case you have not got. The cats
think to themselves of ineffable names,
which in our case we have not got.
