Synopsis

A discriminating selection of the most pithy, profound, and humorous statements on record about "the tiger on the hearth." Judging from the amount of thought devoted over the centuries to figuring out what goes through their furry little heads, it is probably safe to say that cats fascinate more human beings than any member of the animal kingdom, with the possible exception of dogs, horses, and other human beings," begins this delightful collection. Charles Elliott has created a cat book of a different color, sifting through the multitude of writings about felines to include only those quotes "made memorable by their seriousness, humor, perceptiveness, or ingenuity." Here is an unexpectedly wide range of writers and personalities. There are classic sayings from: Elizabeth Bishop George Eliot Nancy Mitford Erma Bombeck James Herriott Damon Runyon Lewis Carroll P. D. James Elizabeth Marshall Thomas Geoffrey Chaucer Rudyard Kipling Mark Twain William Churchill Doris Lessing John Updike Colette Herman Melville H. G. Wells And many more.
