My First Cat: Writers and Artists Remember (2007)

Writers and artists take a fresh look at the experience of owning their first cat in this charming collection. Described with wonder and love, these delightful insights come from born cat lovers, those who’ve undergone the dramatic conversions from cat hatred to cat worship, and even some who have had cats thrust upon them. For each one, however inexperienced or at first reluctant, the cat always seems to find a way deep into his or her heart. Illustrated with antique photographs, line drawings, and chromolithographs, this collection is filled with hundreds of anecdotes, including some from Louisa May Alcott, Emily Brontë, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Alexandre Dumas, Olivia Manning, and Saki.
