Apart from Rossini's Cat Duet, I vaguely remember the Walter de la Mare poem and
song; I will think.

I have just seen it mentioned it a later post; I receive the Digest.

May I be frivolous for once, please ? Those rrrrrrr sounds; I cannot do them,
although cats can; I was told that
people who can rub their stomachs in a circular motion and pat their chests at
the same time can produce this
sound; why, I have no idea ! I can't do this myself, but over the years I have
found "trillers" who can carry out
that particular exercise !
