abcNEWS.com has a list of the 5 Most Memorable Movie Cats and it’s pretty weak: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=13429213 (Why don’t they ask Mary before they put these things together?)

But, really, how could they leave out Thomasina!

Day in Autumn

by chuckofish

By Rainer Maria Rilke
(Translated By Mary Kinzie)

After the summer’s yield, Lord, it is time
to let your shadow lengthen on the sundials
and in the pastures let the rough winds fly.

As for the final fruits, coax them to roundness.
Direct on them two days of warmer light
to hale them golden toward their term, and harry
the last few drops of sweetness through the wine.

Whoever’s homeless now, will build no shelter;
who lives alone will live indefinitely so,
waking up to read a little, draft long letters,
and, along the city’s avenues,
fitfully wander, when the wild leaves loosen.
