Áine, you are a treasure! You must have been working extremely hard to add all those stories tonight. Thank you so much. I expect that more stories will appear on the cat-naming thread from time to time, and they are there simply for people to enjoy. I love hearing stories read, or reading them myself. It is a somewhat neglected art, but one which can captivate an audience of any age when the setting is right. There is something so magical about telling a story to a young child, or listening to an older person recounting an old tale, that you get caught up in an atmosphere where you feel that you are touching upon the strange world of a greater reality than we most of us experience in our everyday lives.
Raise your glasses to the tellers of stories!
