Bob,
I read it in the sense of a phrase like 'broth of a boy'.
Kind regards,

Hi Christina,
Serendipidly I read Keat's poem about Mrs Reynold's cat just before tea!
With yours, I can't work out the "toy boy of a neutered tom" either! But I
guess cats are promiscious.
And the rest purrs away.
Yeh, all cats ought to know the sensation of being a "blissed out kitty!" -
at least once a day!
Bob
