The superstitious still hold the cat in high esteem

"In England," says Mr. T. F. Thiselton Dyer, "the superstitious still hold the cat in high esteem, and oftentimes, when observing the weather, attribute much importance to its various movements.

True calendars as pusses eare,
Wash't o're to tell what change is neare.
