Eliot. It's no secret that T.S. Eliot loved cats, as he wrote an entire poetry collection about them. You'll find the poem The Naming of Cats in Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
Skimbleshanks is a character which is based on Eliot's book. The character is portrayed as a bright and energetic orange tabby cat who lives and works on the NIGHT MAIL.
MACAVITY - THE MYSTERY CAT
One could say that Eliot liked cats, but that would hardly do. One could say he respected cats, but that would not cover it, either. As no other poet has, Eliot fathomed cats' unfathomable catness, celebrated their mystery and relished their utterly unpossessable self-possession. Comprehending the hold cats held on Eliot's poetic imagination is a difficult matter, as the poet wrote, "it isn't just one of your holiday games."
The poem "Skimbleshanks" by T.S. Eliot is a humorous and whimsical (unusually funny)ode to a railway cat named Skimbleshanks. The poem describes the cat's role as supervisor of the Northern Mail train, ensuring that everything runs smoothly from the driver and guards to the passengers. The cat is described as being in charge of the Sleeping Car Express, and is able to control and monitor the passengers' behavior through his regular patrols. Skimbleshanks is also described as being able to anticipate and prevent problems on the train, and is able to take care of any issues that may arise, such as mice in the passenger's sleeping car. The poem concludes by describing the cat's ability to greet and help passengers at different train stations, and his ability to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for all.
