The purrrfect thread. Because nobody's purrrfect, unless they're a cat.

The Rum Tum Tugger

Το 2005 κυκλοφόρησε από τις εκδόσεις Άγρα, σε μετάφραση Παυλίνας Παμπούδη και Γιάννη Ζέρβα το βιβλίο του T.S. Eliot Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, με ελληνικό τίτλο Το εγχειρίδιο πρακτικής γατικής του γερο-Πόσουμ.

Αναζητώ λοιπόν τη μετάφραση τού The Rum Tum Tugger και ιδιαίτερα της παρακάτω στροφής (αν δεν μ' αρέσει, θα κάνουμε διαγωνισμό ρίμας εδώ).

The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing,
The Rum Tum Tugger doesn’t care for a cuddle;
But he’ll leap on your lap in the middle of your sewing,
For there’s nothing he enjoys like a horrible muddle.


The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat:
If you offer him pheasant he would rather have grouse.
If you put him in a house he would much prefer a flat,
If you put him in a flat then he'd rather have a house.
If you set him on a mouse then he only wants a rat,
If you set him on a rat then he'd rather chase a mouse.

The Duetto buffo di due gatti ("humorous duet for two cats") is a popular performance piece for two sopranos which is often performed as a concert encore. The "lyrics" consist entirely of the repeated word "miau" ("meow"). Sometimes it is also performed by a soprano and a tenor.

Pauline Tinsley & Elizabeth Vaughan

To celebrate Pauline Tinsley's 80th birthday, Elizabeth Vaughan joins her at a WNO gala in 1996.


Και μερικές φορές από χορωδία, όπως αυτή: Παιδική Χορωδία ROSARTE

While the piece is typically attributed to Gioachino Rossini, it was not actually written by him, but is instead a compilation written in 1825 that draws principally on his 1816 opera, Otello. Hubert Hunt, in his biography of Robert Lucas de Pearsall, Robert Lucas Pearsall: the Compleat Gentleman and His Music, 1795-1856 (Chesham Bois,1977), putatively claims that the compiler was Pearsall, who for this purpose adopted the pseudonym "G. Berthold".

CATable par Ruan Hao

Vous aurez sans doute remarqué que les animaux et plus particulièrement les chats partagent de plus en plus nos intérieurs et nos habitations.
Le designer Ruan Hao du studio LYCS, basé à Hangzhou et à Hong Kong, vient de livrer cette table baptisée CATable et qui transforme notre mobilier en un espace de jeux pour les chats. Il peuvent effectivement se faufiler et jouer dans les trous et les recoins créés au sein du plateau de la table. Le résultat donne un mobilier au design organique et contemporain.
