That's a she actually. I posted it because it resembles a smile if we look at it anthropomorphically. But yes, from a cat point of view it looks more as if she is hissing.

Can someone explain what the following quote from Shakespeare's Macbeth means -

"Letting “I dare not” wait upon “I would” Like the poor cat i' the adage?"

I have often read it in P G Wodehouse books. I really couldn't understand what the quote means as the language is pretty archaic and I haven't read much of Shakespeare. But whatever it means, being a cat lover , I felt it was something profound. :smile:

According to http://www.moggies.co.uk/stories/catsayone.html it's a reference to an old proverb. "cats love fish but fear to wet their paws." In other words, he wants to have something, but he doesn't want to "pay the price" to get it.

Collections of proverbs were among the "standard textbooks" for learning to read and write in Shakespeare's day, so probably this saying (or something similar) would be known by every literate person in the original audiences.

It is interesting how the usage of words changes over a period of time. For instance very rarely does one write "i'the " instead of 'in the' these days.

That sort of abbreviation was a leftover from the abbreviations used by medieval scribes to save time and space - e.g. http://www.uAlberta.ca/~sreimer/ms-course/course/abbrevtn.htm

Some of these migrated from Latin to English and from handwriting to print. For example some 16th century bibles have printed versions of those abbreviations for syllables like "pro", as well as the "thorn" character (similar to y) in abbreviations like yt for "that". The latin abbreviations i.e., e.g. and & are still in use - and "ye olde englishe tea shoppe" in UK tourist hotspots, of course!
