The Literary Cat Mug

Many authors throughout history have an affinity for felines… Noah Webster was not one of them. His definition for cat in the first American Dictionary (1828) referred to them as a “deceitful animal, and when enraged, extremely spiteful”. If you are a fan of the fuzzy fiends then you are joined by greats like Emily Brontë, Lewis Carroll, and Mark Twain. Cuddle up with your cup of joe and revel with your cat in the adoration of authors such as Robert Davies who observed “Authors like cats because they are such quiet, loveable, wise creatures and cats like authors for the same reasons”.
