Greycie Loo is currently Between. As i looked down on her snuggled up to my hip and against Christine's back it occurs to me that cats and prepositions go together in a way that seems distinctly feline and not a general pet behavior. Cats are In the clean laundry (and the hat), On the bed, Under the chair. Dogs are running, sitting, sleeping.

That made me think of this

I have a gumby cat in mind
Her name is Jennyannydots
Her coat is of the tabby kind
with tiger stripes and leopard spots.
All day she sits upon the stair or on the floor or on my hat
She sits and sits and sits and sits
And that's what makes a gumby cat!

(Apologies for any inaccuracy--it was from memory. ;))

I love the pairing of cats and prepositions. :)
