Abstract

The Hidden Paw, or an account of a cat scratch and its contemplative repercussions, with sincere apologies and thanks to TS Elliot, whose ‘rifed’ and ‘stifed’ lines, rhymes, words and ideas litter the following lines.

“Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw—For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law. He's the baffement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair: For when they reach the scene of crime — Macavity's not there!” TS Elliot “Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats”
