![]() ![]() ![]() As a kitten, You reclined in the warmth and comfort of the space between Granny's tightly bunned hair and pointy hat. Thus far, You has trained Granny into taking her everywhere she goes. Granny has reluctantly accepted the burden of being owned by a cat, (naïve people refer to this as "cat ownership", which is correct, but then get the relationship of "owned" and "owner" exactly wrong.) Tiffany is in some obscure way testing out Granny, a known ailurophobe, with her gift of a cat, viewed in many cultures as the essential accessory for the working witch, or else a natural development in the life of an eccentric old spinster who lives on her own. In the manner of most cats, the name that sticks was acquired almost by stealth, and can be taken as shorthand for " Stop that, You," which is a milder version of the name "gerrofoutofityoubugger!" which is the pronunciation of Greebo used by most people who have met him. A white kitten, given to Granny Weatherwax by Tiffany Aching in a mood of calculated headology. ![]()
