Janet Rocco : Catyre, Catomancy & Channelling

janetrocco is the blog of "Janet" (human female) and "Rocco" (male feline). Although Janet is really the "channel" for Rocco's thoughts on a range of subjects, as well as his creative ideas, this blog uses the term "we". Thus we cover :

• "catyre" (witty, even catty, and occasionally satiric observations on contemporary life)
• "Catomancy" (feline magic arts, including transmogrification)
• "channelling" (Rocco himself has a spirit guide called Ozzimandius - Ozman to friends)

Now let us introduce Janet. She is a middle aged woman, living in Middle England : Worcester to be precise. Janet is a person of independent thought and action. She might be middle class, or one of the dangerous class, or somewhere in between..."Do what ye will, but ye harm no one".

Rocco is a middle aged tomcat of medium size. He is generally regarded as rather fine. His "friends" are Toby (a black male, with spikey fur) and Felix (the neighbourhood busy-body). They enjoy fighting and waking the neighbourhood with their "primal screams".

Ozzimandius, in his previous incarnations, was the ruler of an ancient middle eastern kingdom, and then - as Cardinal de Rocco - a senior cleric in the Church of Rome. He then transmogrified into the occultist, Madame Blatkatsky. He is now Rocco's spirit guide.

We should mention how this came about. Ozman's "channel" of first choice was Humphrey, the onetime "Downing Street Cat", whom he thought might be a vehicle for contacting Cherie Booth-Blair. However, with Humphrey's expulsion from No 10, another "political animal" was sought.

This just about brings us up to date, and ready to to begin our first online Catyre....
