William S. Burroughs: The Cat Inside

  And Calico Jane is well cast as Jane Bowles...so delicate, refined and special. (In a beach restaurant in Tangier an ugly, dirty little urchin nudged her and held out his grubby little hand. "Oh no!" she said. "I only like old men.") The little cat has real class, and so like her to be a calico somehow.
  I was present when Jane was born. She was the first to lap milk and the first to eat solid food. She was the last to purr. (Wimpy was the first.) She seemed almost catatonic, and developed slowly. Now she purrs and snuggles against me in a delicate way...a ladylike way. Janie does things in a ladylike way.
