    <body><![CDATA[The 15 poems in <em>Old Possum's Book of Pratical Cats</em> are fun, straight-foward poems that delve into the mystery of cats.  I especially enjoyed &quot;The Naming of Cats&quot;; it explains the three types of names possessed by every cat.  Most of the other poems explore the personalities of cats.

    <body><![CDATA[If you like cats, especially if you live with cats, this is a wonderful book.  I think actually own three of the ones Eliot writes about.  I HATE the musical; really hate the musical.  I LOVE this book.  You have to read it aloud.  My favorite Eliot work by far.]]></body>
