I'd like to see the bibliography for paragraph 3.

:Can't tell you the book, but I remember that he does that, too. BTW: The text should be wikified --[[User:Death|Death]] 08:05, 16 August 2006 (CEST)

It's in [[Maskerade]], I think: in the early chapters after the witches have finangled their way to a free coach trip. They stop at a coaching inn for the night, Greebo goes foraging for food, and discovers "Turn Human" is another way for a cat to get out of trouble. --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 01:24, 30 April 2007 (CEST)

This has actually happened somewhere in the continental USA. I'll try to find the photos or links to.--[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 01:21, 30 April 2007 (CEST)

== Greebo's eye(s) ==

Hi!

In "Wyrd Sisters" Greebo is first presented as a one-eyed cat. Later in Lancre castle Greebo has two (working?) eyes. Am I to understand e.g. that the other eye is blind? Does anyone know?

"Nanny Ogg also kept a cat, a huge one-eyed grey tom called Greebo who divided his time between sleeping, eating and fathering the most enormous incestuous feline tribe." (p.50)

"There was a cat sitting in the doorway - -. Its ears were a couple of perforated stubs, its eyes two yellow slits of easy-going malevolence, its tail a twitching series of question marks as it stared at him.
Greebo had heard that Lady Felmet had a small white female cat and had strolled up to pay his respects." (p.84)

From 'Wyrd Sisters' Corgi edition reprinted 1994
