An incident happened - a cat cut its paw ...
One of the most amazing pages of Russian children's classics is "Amazing Cat", where the first words: "unfortunate cat" ....
Mysterious metamorphosis: Amazing because unfortunate? - or unhappy, because amazing? This company of words needs to be "disheveled".
And, wearing not only the clothes of Sherlock Holmes, so beloved by the author of the dissected poetic creation, but also armed with his - Sherlock Holmes - method of unraveling the semantic tangles: by disparate and little meaning individually, to restore a single picture, as if to see the incident with your own eyes. That is, first, on the basis of all available facts, build a complete, as far as possible, picture of the incident and, then, starting from this, using strict logic, find an answer.
But first, let us note that the poem was written in 1938, when Kharms, moving further and further away (or deepening? - let philologists deal with this in countless dissertations) from external absurdity and absurdity, is increasingly practicing "exercises in the classical style" in poetry.
Let's start at the scene: where? "And from the platform they say - this is the city of Leningrad!" (This is Samuil Marshak, who was not only a co-author of Kharms' Merry Siskins, but also subsequently a four-time winner of the Stalin Prize and an honorary citizen of Scotland).
Data:
1. "The unfortunate cat cut its paw" - A cat that cut its paw is nonsense, almost like a four-legged (but actually five-legged) - Kharms' crow.
2. "Sits and can't take a single step." - is it like a holy fool on the porch, squeezing out tears of pity? - we remember very well how a cat is able to run away from us even on three legs, when you inadvertently hit the fourth one with a stone. Sentimental blackmail? - or his alleged attempt (as it seems to us), but we are not in a hurry, this is only the second line, and Kharms will pave a new path!
3. "Hurry, to cure the cat's paw" - as if greetings to Korney Chukovsky, rather his Aibolit (and Kharms left notes in his famous handwritten "Chukokol")? Young lady: 03!
4. "Buy balloons!" - here it is: creativity - insight! - one must also be a poet, and it is not necessary to know physics, although, "... how many wonderful discoveries the spirit of enlightenment prepares for us ..." And this is the spirit that soared, including airships (hello to the Italian engineer Nobil!), And airplanes , and whispers, and whispers a guess. Here we recall the remarkable character of the same era, Robert Bartini (another Italian trace in our mysterious history, although some desperate heads personify him with the prototype of Woland himself) - a brilliant aircraft designer (the genius was adequately appreciated by eight years of "sharashka" - a prison design bureau) who developed a method of invention called "AND - AND" - from the principle of connecting mutually exclusive requirements: "Both this, And the other", which are taken from a pair of seemingly incompatible and mutually exclusive alternatives "OR - OR". By the way, this method was then further developed by Heinrich Altshuller (who is also science fiction writer Genrikh Altov) - his famous TRIZ (the theory of inventive problem solving). Kharms is a genius, therefore he uses this method - "AND - AND" - completely intuitively, without even knowing about him: not like everyone else!
And then two lines of absolute "sociophrenia" (as Yevgeny Klyuev aptly puts it):
"And immediately people crowded on the road -
Noises, and screams, and looks at the cat.
There is nothing to comment on here, as if there is nothing: "... that We are not People ...", but: this creates the necessary background-entourage, for the final chord of the last two lines:
"And the cat partly walks along the road,
Partly flies through the air smoothly!
And what's that? And this is not just an attempt at "fabulous aeronautics" (the children's poet Andrei Usachev has such a wonderful book - class!), This is real steam-punk: you can see a magnificent illustration, in which Kharms is in a flight helmet with canned goggles, leather raglan of a flight jacket and a cat no less exotically camouflaged after a pioneer pilot, as well as the grunge background of a granite cradle city, the Aurora standing at full speed, Lenin's crumb-locomotive puffing from the Finnish borders, and Lenin's, bristling with a machine-gun snout, completely covered with goosebumps of rivets, an armored car .... And - balls, balls, from a wounded cat's paw - replacing, replacing it. Why not a primary cyborg?!

Very very tasty pie
I wanted to have a ball
And I have guests...
I bought flour, I bought cottage cheese,
Bake crumbly...
Pie, knives and forks here -
But some guests...
I waited until I had the strength
Then a piece...
Then he pulled up a chair and sat down.
And the whole pie in a minute...
When the guests arrived
Even crumbs...
A man came out of the house
A man came out of the house
With club and bag
And on a long journey
And on a long journey
Went on foot.
He walked straight ahead
And looked ahead.
Didn't sleep, didn't drink
Didn't drink, didn't sleep
Didn't sleep, didn't drink, didn't eat.
And then one day at dawn
He entered the dark forest.
And from that time
And from that time
And has since disappeared.
But if somehow
You happen to meet
Then quickly
Then quickly
Tell us quickly.
Very scary story
Eating a bun with butter,
The brothers walked down the alley.
Suddenly on them from a nook
The big dog barked loudly.
Said the younger: "Here's to attack,
He wants to attack us.
So that we do not get into trouble,
We'll throw the bun into the dog's mouth."
Everything ended up great.
The brothers immediately became clear
What's on every walk
You must take with you ... a roll.

And the poodle drowned in the river like an axe.

And the poodle jumped over the fence in the river.

And the poodle jumped onto the axe.
Bulldog and Taxi
A bulldog sits over a bone,
Tied to a pole.
A small taxi is suitable,
With wrinkles on the forehead.
"Listen, bulldog, bulldog! -
Said the uninvited guest.-
Let me bulldog, bulldog,
Eat this bone."
The bulldog growls at the taxi:
"I won't give you anything!"
Bulldog runs after a taxi
And the taxi driver from him.
They run around the pole.
Like a lion, a bulldog roars.
And the chain knocks around the post,
Knocks around the pole.
Now the bulldog has a bone
Don't take it anymore.
And the taxi driver, taking the bone,
The bulldog said:
"It's time for my date,
It's eight minutes to five.
How late! Goodbye!
Get on the chain!"

Analysis of the poem "The Amazing Cat" by Kharms
For the first time, "Amazing Cat" by Daniil Kharms appeared on the pages of the magazine "Chizh". The illustrations for the poem were made by N. Radlov.
The poem was written at the end of 1938. Its author at that moment turned 33 years old, he is known as a children's poet, however, he is published infrequently, and he can only dream of publishing a whole collection of his poems. There was a crisis in family life with M. Malich. However, personal problems settled down over time, but money remained. Responded to his fate and the defeat of Detizdat, headed by S. Marshak. It is known that S. Marshak appreciated his work. Now he could no longer help, moreover, he left Leningrad for Moscow. Some of the employees, good friends of D. Kharms, were arrested. In genre terms - a poetic story, almost extravaganza, a three-syllable with tautological and cross-rhyming, 2 stanzas. The title contrasts with the first line. It turns out that the amazing cat is unhappy (homeless, most likely), moreover, an additional misfortune happened to her - a cut on her paw. It is believed that the saying "will heal like a dog" fully applies to cats. However, the inflammatory process is not such a harmless thing. But it is immediately clear that there will be no visit to the doctor. And then someone comes up with a brilliant tool. Indeed, all the suffering of the heroine will stop if you do not need to step on a sore foot. Naturally, balloons will help to keep active and cheerful. The medical theme itself after the release fully entered the children's literature. However, D. Kharms solves it differently, without any analogy with the treatment of people. “We must buy”: a call that the “people” might not have supported. But money has already been raised and helium balloons have been bought (in those years, this gas came to replace dangerous hydrogen). It seems that an innocent, but quite a scientific experiment is being carried out here (or a small miracle, as you like). Probably, some of the adults were secretly satisfied no less than the children. The piece has a happy ending. A little behind the scenes remains the question of what will happen to the cat when she turns the corner of the house, the balloons burst or the dogs intervene. An interesting moment is the anxiety of the “people” due to the fact that a living being is unhappy in this best of all possible worlds. The poem is intended for children, because the poet does not cast a shadow on this almost fairy tale. And yet, who knows how these mechanisms of sympathy operate in relation to people and their troubles. The intonation is the most sincere, excited, in the final - optimistic. Double negation in the first quatrain. Enumerative gradations, lexical repetitions.
The poem "The Amazing Cat" by D. Kharms is a dramatic story with a happy ending.
