Dedicated to Nicholas Nickelby

A cat is the most domesticated feline

A dog, the most domesticated canine

A horse, a domesticated equine

No real domesticated bovine

Lupine or ovine

Like Divine

Feline

A/N In keeping with the Halloween theme I've revised this poem,

one of my favorite tempoems. Incidentally, I don't know if

Nicholas Nickelby, the cat that inspired me to compose this piece,

has ever been found by its loving owner, Sloan Ranger. She was broken-

hearted when he disappeared.
