~~A CAT fell in love with a handsome man, and begged Aphrodite to change her into a human being. The goddess felt sorry for the cat and agreed, provided the cat would give up all her feline ways. Eagerly the cat promised she would, and so Aphrodite transformed her into an enchanting girl. The man was so struck by her beauty that he married her there and then.
~~As the newly wed couple sat together at their fireside, the goddess sent a mouse to run between the girl's feet. The excited girl pounced on the mouse - and then remembered her promise. But it was too late. Before she could apologise, Aphrodite had changed her back into a cat.
