    Since “sat on a wall” is canon, I think what really happened is that the cat swatted him off.

    I read that nowhere in the original Mother Goose stories was Humpty Dumpty ever described as an egg, yet that’s how he’s always portrayed.

    I got tied up by several cats at my ankles this morning. Must be the bacon. They failed. We humans got the bacon.

    As is often pointed out, it’s never said that Humpty Dumpty was an egg.

    My loving wife got 2 kittens a few months before she died and they have been trying to “help” me join her since she then because the run in front of me and stop and they run down the steps and “hide” trying to trip me. They also jump down on me when I am in bed and seem to land in my groin area most of the time and that isn’t fun either.

    His so-called ’cat’astrophic injuries were self inflicted, you know, on ’purr’pose.

    I think a cat “head-butted” him off the wall.

    Humpty Dumpty tripped on a cat.

    Humpty Dumpty fell with a splat.

    All the King’s horses and all the King’s men,

    Had omelettes for breakfast, again and again.

    The other night I had my left foot knocked out from under me whilst going up the stairs. One of the sisters came running out of the dark at the top of the stairs, bounced off my foot and continued on down. Fortunately I grabbed the railing and stayed upright.
