Of Cats and Men
Of Cats and Men: Profiles of History's Great Cat-Loving Artists, Writers, Thinkers, and Statesmen | Sam Kalda
9 posts | 3 read | 12 to read
A stylish, illustrated gift book profiling notable cat-loving men throughout history. Some of historys greatest men have been cat lovers, and their cats have contributed to their genius and legacy: the static charge from a cats fur sparked young Nikola Teslas interest in electricity; Sir Isaac Newton is said to have invited the first cat flap; visitors to Ernest Hemingway and Winston Churchills homes still encounter the descendants of their beloved cats; William S. Burroughs and Andy Warhol both wrote books inspired by their feline friends. Stylishly illustrated and full of charming, witty profiles and quotes from historys most notable cat men, Of Cats and Men pays tribute to thirty luminaries and visionaries who have one thing in common: a pure and enduring love of cats.

“I loved to read; I loved to listen to music; and I loved cats 🐈. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved”. HM

#TBRtempation post! I always wait for my train in the station bookstore, I'm there nearly every day so I know what they have by heart. But today a new arrival caught my eye. Do you love reading and cats (and men)? I do! This little book is wonderfully illustrated and the men range from 10th century Welsh King Hywell Dda (the Good) tot Tesla and Mark Twain and everyone in between. I need this! And I need more money 😂
