Gillyin Gatto - Machias, Maine USA
King o' the Cats
This cat tale has many versions told in Ireland, England, and Scotland,
but they all tell the same story in slightly different ways. A hunter
gets lost in the fog and comes upon a funeral procession - of CATS!
When
he is relating his experience, after finally
making it home, the family cat is listening intently along with everybody
else. upon hearing that a coffin with a crown and scepter
was bourne by cats in torch light, he jumps up exclaiming, "If Old Grimalkin
is dead , then I am the KING O' THE CATS!!" He ran up
the chimney and was seen no more.
