Niamh’s great-grandmother was Cat Stevens’ cat, Minah. Minah was extremely adept in mouse hunting. She was relentless, and took sadistic pleasure in mauling and maiming her prey. Cat’s pet name for Minah thus became “Minah Maul-Maim”. London mice were in a state of utter horror, constantly pursed by Minah Maul-Maim’s relentless moon-shadow.... until Cat decided to abandon his sinful and satanic rock ‘n’ roll ways and become a Muslim. Cat Stevens, reborn as Yusuf Islam, moved to Turkey and preached the word of the Prophet. Minah too abandoned her blood-curdling habits. Minah Maul-Maim became a follower of Iman al-Mu'minah (http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/3565/) and dedicated her life to encouraged her sisters to a more virtuous feline path.
