it spins threads of luck.
Luck cat, luck cat,
make for me three things:
make for me a golden ring,
to tell me that I am lucky;
make for me a mirror
to tell me that I am beautiful;
make for me a fan
to waft away my cumbersome thoughts.
Luck cat, luck cat,
spin for me some news of my future!
-- Finnish-Swedish poet Edith Sodergran (1892-1923). Found along with photos of Sodergran and pets at this superdelicious BuzzFeed post: 30 Renowned Authors Inspired by Cats.
