| . . . The Great Egyptian Cat Goddess -- Page 2 |

Princess Nuit is an obvious possibility - possibly too obvious, since her name means Princess of the Night and she's terrifically regal and very, very charming. She lives at Wildcats and, like me, has chronic sneezles. Tammy's view, however, was that the real Cat Goddess would probably be in disguise. She could be someone like Harriet who lives next door to me with Bruiser's Brood . . .

. . . My good friend Bruiser says that although Harriet looks quite ordinary at first sight, more visitors have quietly succumbed to her will than to any other cat in history, although her own history is not very regal. She was very ill when she arrived nine years ago and then gave birth to some stillborn kittens. It wasn't until some time later when she got better that she began to develop her subtle magnetic powers. Nowadays there is no one upon whom Harriet fixes her hypnotic gaze who is not immediately overcome with the urge to pick her up and carry her wherever she wants to go next. So she's a strong candidate as the Great Egyptian Cat Goddess. Meanwhile, however, my own suspicions have begun to focus on Aurora . . . |
