Macavity
Macavity: The Mystery Cat" is a remarkable light poem. In the form of mock-heroic vein composed by a great modern poet and critic T.S. Eliot. Macavity is the name of the poet’s own tame cat. The poet describes that mischievous tame clever cat in a mock-heroic way. It knows a thousand and one tricks to commit a crime. It commits many crimes and flees. It acts as if it were a master criminal. It never leaves behind any clue of its crime. So, it is never caught red-handed by anyone. It goes everywhere but nobody knows its activity. It cheats as cards to everyone. According to the poet, Macavity is very clever tall and thin with sunken eyes. Its head is highly domed and its whiskers are uncombed. The colour of its body is dusty. It moves like a snake. It seems that it is asleep but it is always awake. It is a devil in the form of a cat. Its crime area is very broad. Wherever it goes it tries to steal something such as drinking milk stealthily, stealing meat away from the meat safe, stealing jewels and fills with important treaties, killing chickens and breaking of glass and runs away. Really no place is safe from that smart Macavity. It is a mysterious cat. All of its actions are mysterious. It is never caught at the place of occurrence. It attracts all. The poet himself draws towards that mysterious cat. The poet thinks that no other cat can be like Macavity.
