HERE KITTY-KITTY-KITTY- AND OTHER POEMS AND STORIES ABOUT CATS !,
By Lady Gal Music "Joy" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sophisticated Cat: A Gathering of Stories, Poems, and Miscellaneous Writings About Cats (Mass Market Paperback)
Joyce Carol Oates and Daniel Halpern chose these writings about cats to demonstrate that often writers have been drawn to cats because the soul of the modern domestated cat is still "wild" and "free". Yet, they point out, cats are not the "independent, solitary" beings that many people suggest. A cat's personality is much more developed than that. Most writers have had their own favorite cats and in this anthology are a collection of rich and diverse selections of cat stories and poems from the pens of authors such as Checkov, TS Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, John Updike, The Brothers Grimm, Edgar Allen Poe, and so many others. In this book, the CAT is immortalized by literature. The book is rich, eclectic and utterly irresistible and a MUST for any cat fancier. By all means, it is a PURR-FECT book to add to your collection.

A bag of cats,
By Mrs. Asia Norris "feline fan" (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sophisticated Cat: A Gathering of Stories, Poems, and Miscellaneous Writings About Cats (Mass Market Paperback)
It is always a delight to find new cat-lovers. This collection puts cat-lovers like me in the company of Herodutus, Colette, P. G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway--among others!!! But like all bags of cats, this one is mixed--some unforgettable and some less illustrious. Something for everyone, though, I suspect. Most enjoyable.
