The Ramyfurccasions of real love...

I'z been awake much of the night thanks to my 'sis calling like only a mad girlycat can! Oh well it just meant I'z decided to take cover in My Mummy and Dad's bed at about 2:40am when it all gotted too much for me... I'z snuggles between them and buried my head against My Mummy's purrity black pj's and purred until she fell asleep fussing me! :) As I'z lay in her arms and nuzzled at her pj's I'z started to notice dat the pj's was lookin' decidedly less black than when I'z first came to bed...

On closer inspection it all came clear to me, those lovely pj's had a special fur coat on now... ;) So as I snuggles closer still I'z finked about a bean word that has long made me ponder it's meaning! I'z first heard it a few weeks ago when My Mummy told Tigmut'hep that the ramifications of scoffing everykitty's dinner was that he was going onto a strict diet... I'z tolded him that my furs haded nuffink to do with his diet, but it made me fink hard about dat strange word!

It seems the true etymology of the word and spelling should be as follows:

Ramyfurccasion - Ramy-fur-casion

Ramy - the shortened form of Ramses
Fur - you know dat lovely stuff that keeps you all nice and toasty warm!
ccasion - a shortened version of the word occasion

The word means an occasion to apply Ramy fur to ones very own Mummy's pj's or other form of clothing! :)
