"Bengal Jewels in Standarton? Is the Eye of India one? The pieces of the puzzle are starting to fit together for me, a little. "

"Oh - the ozzners - I don't think it changes the meaning - it is not literal. I think it is just a "cat-word" symbolic of tones, sounds, (remember it was sung, and this makes it more song-like.) I thought maybe it referred to watchers. But, I've been giving it a lot of thought. I have been very aware of all the distractions in life. It said: "The ozzners are showing their ability to distract."

". . .And, I think that was a warning to get my act together. It came from the cat, too. If you think about the Sphinx - it guards the entrance to the tombs from the base of the Nile. Cats are the ultimate watchers. My cat sits like the Sphinx, at the foot of my bed, every night. As if watching, protecting, guarding against foes. . ."
