   " For centuries, cats have been worshipped, adored and     
   mistrusted in equal measure. This beautiful gift book contains     
   a selection of essays, stories, and poems on cats by writers     
   from across the ages.   
      
   " In these pages, writers reflect on the curious feline   
   qualities that inspire such devotion in their owners, even when   
   it seems one-sided. Cats' affections are hard-won and often   
   fickle. Freud considered his cat an embodiment of true egoism;   
   Hilaire Belloc found peace in his feline companion's   
   complacency; and Hemingway-a famous cat-lover-wrote of drinking   
   with his eleven cats and the pleasant distraction they gave   
   him.   
      
   " Edward Gorey can't turn down a stray despite the trouble they   
   cause him, and admits he has no idea what they're thinking   
   about; Muriel Spark gives practical advice on how to teach a   
   cat to play ping-pong; Nikola Tesla, who helped design the   
   modern electricity supply system, describes a seminal   
   experience with a cat that first sparked his fascination with   
   electricity; and Caitlin Moran considers the unexpected   
   feelings of loss after the death of her family cat.   
      
   "These writers, and many others (including Mary Gaitskill,   
   Alice Walker, Ursula K. Le Guin, John Keats, James Bowen, Lynne   
   Truss, and more), paint a joyful portrait of cats and their   
   mysterious and loveable ways. As Hemingway wrote, "one cat   
   leads to another." The book features six black-and-white cat   
   portraits by photographer Elliot Ross.
