All fans of felines will find immense pleasure in perusing this rich anthology of stories, essays, and poems about cats. Here every facet of a cat's personality is explored by such noted authors as Rudyard Kipling, Colette, Lewis Carroll, Thomas Gray, and T.S. Eliot. Complementing these delightful sketches of a cat's life are illustrations from the works of such famous artists as Picasso, Goya, and Manet.
The range of the writing collected here is as varied as the personality of the cat itself. In this fascinating gallery of feline personalities, the delighted reader will find independent cats, loyal cats, mysterious cats, loving cats, brave cats, and crazy cats.
Here you will find T.S. Eliot's criminal cat, Macavity,w ho has broken every human law--even the law of gravity. (You may have seen Macavity step off these pages as the star of the Broadway play Cats.) Here you will find another clever and famous feline, Puss in Boots. The Ninth Life is a heart-warming story of one cat who, in spite of overwhelming obstacles, finds her way home after being left behind by her owners at their summer retreat. And The Best Bed is a touching tale of a cold, bedraggled cat who finds warmth and shelter in a manger scene inside a church. You will also find Thomas Gray's classic poem of one cat's fatal encounter with a tub full of goldfish, as well as Lewis Carroll's popular account of the Cheshire Cat. Everyone who has ever owned a cat or even admired one from a distance will delight in this magnificent collection of cat literature and art. The Personality of the Cat is a veritable treasure trove for all fans of the feline.
