John Lennon, the iconic Beatle who declared, "I Am the Walrus", held a
less-known affection for a different whiskered animal - the cat.
 THE FELINES OF LIVERPOOL
"Cats were a big thing with John," May Pang, Lennon's now 73-year-old
former secretary and girlfriend, shared in a recent conversation with
me. She recalled learning about Lennon's childhood spent under the
watchful eye of his Aunt Mimi, who filled their home with feline
companions. Aunt Mimi's house always had a crowd of cats, as many as
nine at a time, laying the foundation for an affinity Lennon would have
throughout his life.

 It's odd he didn't express his love of cats in his music, the only cat
connections I can think of off the top of my head are "Three Cool Cats"
back in the Hamburg days and his contribution to Harry Nilsson's "Pussy
Cats" album.
 Then I guess you could include "...pussy....pussy" at the end of "Yer
Blues."

 Don't forget "Leave My Kitten Alone."
