"'Meow' is like 'Aloha'--it can mean anything." So said American cartoonist Hank Ketchum, who obviously had an understanding of the mysterious, multifaceted feline.
The Literary Cat is a paean to the pawed purrer, full of quips, quotes, and observations about the wily ways of the cat. The attributions range from Colette ("There are no ordinary cats.") to Leonardo da Vinci ("The smallest feline is a masterpiece.") to Mugsy Peabody ("A dog is a dog, a bird is a bird, and a cat is a person."). Whether it says more about felines or the humans who love them, this tiny book will be like catnip for cat lovers.
