The day I met Ísis, my little cat,
was the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
A little cat is as blind as a bat
and moves funnily like a drunken ship.
Even if funny, they are beautiful,
as they obviously invented all grace.
A little cat is weak but forceful
and his story does not need a preface!
A cat will never understand a dog,
because a dog will never be a cat!
To obey orders is just a prologue
to slavery, to pain and all that!
Cats are not inclined to live like slaves,
as they were born belonging to the braves!

O segundo verso da primeira quadra é uma imortal citação do grande clássico do cinema: CASABLANCA. Ficaria mal um soneto dedicado aos felinos, na língua de Shakespeare, sem recurso a um inesquecível clássico da sétima arte. Na realidade, o segundo verso é a última fala do filme, proferida, para a eternidade, pelo grande actor Claude Rains, saindo de cena, de braço dado, com Bogart. Shakespeare teria assinado por baixo.
