I remember a short poem in Irish called "Pangur Ban," that a monk wrote about his cat, the "ban" referring to the light colour of the kitty's fur. It's from the 9th c., if my memory serves.

You intuit well! I had "Pangur Ban" in mind when I mentioned poems in marginalia as places to look, since just earlier this week [livejournal.com profile] medievalist posted it on her LJ. Of course, she posted it in the original, and it's been ages since I've seen an English translation, so I don't actually remember the text well. I'll have to go looking.

I dug through my bookcases and found an English translation for you by Robin Flower in the appendix of a book I forgot I had *headdesk*.

I'll bring it on Saturday!
