Ariel did have a lovely speech that's mermaid-related in The Tempest, I'm sure many of you have heard it....
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Pretty applicable to this pearly cat!
Tybalt (Juliet's cousin in R&J) would be perfect if this were a Dark Ambrosia, because Tybalt's nickname is "Prince of Cats."
Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I am still pondering .....
And thank you, Kay, I had lots of fun taking it.
edit: OK, Beatrice she is!
