Clyde's cats, but Clydes the Cats??

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games,
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter, When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

First of all, there's the name that the family use daily, All of them sensible everyday names.
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames: But all of them sensible everyday names.

But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular, A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
   Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?

But above and beyond there's still one name left over, And that is the name that you never will guess;
  The name that no human research can discover--  But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
