NO no no! *sniff* My precious baby is not evil at all! She's the sweetest thing on earth! I love her more than anything. JRRT neede to meet Chessie (my cat) then he would change his mind.

Oh and, a book i have had for about seven years I discivered has a poem by JRRT in it.

The book is called "The Poetical Cat" and the the poem goes like this:

CAT ON THE MAT

The fat cat on the mat
may seen to dream
Of nice mice that suffice
for him or cream;
but he is free maybe,
walks in thought
umbowed, proud, where loud
roared ofr fought
his kin, lean and slim,
or deep in den
in the East feasted on beasts
and tender men.

The giant lion with iron
claw in paw,
and huge ruthless tooth
in gory jaw;
the pard dark-starred
fleet upon feet,
that oft from aloft
leaps on his meat
where words loom in gloom-
far now they be
fierece and free
and tamed is he;
but fat cat on the mat
kept as pet
he does not forget.

Sounds like a typical JRRT poem dosen't it?
