It's difficult to describe the jolt of recognition I experience every time I see one of those D’Aulaires illustrations!

I know what you mean! I get that (or what I assume is a similar jolt) with various book illustrations from my childhood. Or even things like the particular shape and colors of Oscar the Grouch's trash can. Certain details get so hardwired into our brains at that age!

The one we know about is probably only a decoy cat anyhow.

I mean. Define 'cat'. Define 'bag'. For that matter, define 'out'.
