"Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy is a painting by the British artist David Hockney. Painted between 1970 and 1971, it depicts the fashion designer Ossie Clark and the textile designer Celia Birtwell in their flat, shortly after their wedding, with one of the couple's cats on Clark's knee. The white cat depicted in the painting was Blanche; Percy was another of their cats, but Hockney thought ""Percy"" made a better title. The work is part of a series of double portraits made by Hockney from 1968, often portraying his friends. Hockney and Clark"
"Blackjack is unfailingly loyal to Percy, and on several occasions manages to save Percy's life. Blackjack always calls Percy ""boss"" and is quite fond of sugar cubes and doughnuts. Blackjack has two friends named Porkpie and Guido, both white pegasi, who sometimes accompany him. All three are intelligent beings capable of interacting with other demigods independent of their horse-to-human translator, Percy. Percy's second magical companion is Mrs. O'Leary, who is introduced in the fourth novel, ""Battle of the Labyrinth"". She is a hellhound that he receives from Daedalus (whom Percy meets as a sword master named Quintus) before the inventor"

These included (from time to time) an elephant, a giraffe, a hippopotamus, a snake, an ape - in fact almost every type of animal that might be found in a typical zoo - together with a parrot, a tortoise, a white mouse, and a hedgehog; thereby causing a predictable degree of"

The third is Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, who, silently attracted to her comrade Jason Grace, finds herself attracted to many of Percy's similar traits. Percy has several animal companions. The first is Blackjack, a black pegasus that Percy liberates from the ""Princess Andromeda"" in ""The Sea of Monsters"". Blackjack is first referred to as a ""mare"" in ""The Sea of Monsters"", though he is called a stallion in all later books. Blackjack becomes Percy's personal steed and companion."
"Peregrine falcon The peregrine falcon (""Falco peregrinus""), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom.

Its name comes from the great noise that it emits from its belly, a barking like ""thirty couple hounds questing"". ""Glatisant"" is related to the French word ""glapissant"", 'yelping' or 'barking', especially of small dogs or foxes."

The cockatrice was first described in its current form in the late fourteenth century. The ""Oxford English Dictionary"" gives a derivation from Old French ""cocatris"", from medieval Latin ""calcatrix"", a translation of the Greek ""ichneumon"", meaning tracker.
