**An irresistible new volume of affectionate missives about our feline companions from Charles Dickens, James Joyce, Anne Frank, Elizabeth Taylor, and more, from the author of the bestselling *Letters of Note* collections**
T. S. Eliot types a rhyming birthday party invitation to all Jellicle cats for his four-year-old godson. Ernest Hemingway catalogs all of his feline friends to an ex-wife. Jack Kerouac's mother grieves at the death of the family cat. Jack Lemmon winkingly suggests to Walter Matthau that they go in on a cat ranch in Mexico. This utterly charming collection offers a warm and friendly look at the place that cats occupy in our hearts and lives. These 30 letters capture the profound delight of having or observing a cat, and they reveal a keen insight into feline nature as well as our own.
