Reincatenation

Gatto -- [the fluffly black cat of legend who was one of this mister’s former cats (and whose amazing story (including TV appearance) is chronicled in the pre-blog days of the last century in huge leather-bound tomes stored at the Bodelian))] -- would be the anti-Smitty in one of those cartoon adventure universe. Mr. Smitty could possibly be the Return of Gatto in a white version (see previous blog), post-Bardo sort of good-reward-reincarnation-type being (since Gatto was a good cat and thus deserving of a reincarnation as the Smitty!). Of course, reincarnation is just our flawed, time-based way of glimpsing the actual reality of the eternal present – multiple simultaneous presents we move nomadically in and out of eternally… … right Mr. Smitty? (cos he know, yo.)
