"It has always struck me to be the very definition of disappointment to think you're going to study Eliot's poetry at college or university, only to find it is some errant dross like 'The Four Quartets'. His book of Cats poems is in the strictest of verse, it's bursting with levity, it's surely great fun to share – what's not to prefer here? If I were you, I'd just ignore what kind of show these pages once inspired, and turn or return to them, Prufrock be damned.
So, in a manner that was completely friendly for Eliot's godchildren, we start with cat lore, and the fact that they have three names – the common, the uncommon and the downright secret. We then diversify into several feline characters – the one on the train, the one who gets to eat his fill on one street and has turned out to be a right old podger, the one who can scare a whole host of bickering dogs off his turf. Some are lazy, some are contrary, some, er, get to walk the plank off a Thames barge.
