A unique celebration of that most beautiful and self-possessed of animals, the cat. More than 50 poems are included, reflecting every feline mood: the comic, the aristocratic, the lazy, the fierce, the inscrutable. Lovers of cats and lovers of poetry will be delighted by the wide range of the collection, which contains poems by T.S. Eliot, Ted Hughes, W.B. Yeates, William Wordsworth, Stevie Smith, John Keats, Edward Lear, A.L. Rowse, Christopher Smart and many more. Illustrated.
