Celebrating cats in poetry and pictures,
By
This review is from: Home Life With Cats (Paperback)
The introduction to this delightful poetry book, by Desmond Morris, explores the special relationship between writers and cats. Writing being a lonely pursuit, the cat is a perfect companion for the creative spirit. Edward Lear, Isaac Newton, Samuel Johnson, Pow, Dumas, Dickens are just some of history's great cat lovers.The book contains 34 beautiful poems, most of them with an appropriate color illustration by Karin van Heerden. The poems deal with all aspects of the relationship between cats and their owners or matters of interest to our feline friends, like spoiling them (The Cat's Heaven), growing old (Foxie), doors and fences (Town Life), death (Nickie), feeding time (Snacks), mice (The Cat In The Cathedral or Rat Apocalypse), rules for kittens (Rules), having pets is good for you (Relating To The Pet) and loss (The Lost Grave). This is a brilliant celebration of cats that he has known and loved, by a great UK author. Home Life With Cats is a treasure trove of delight and ought to be in every cat lover's home. |
