This volu…me is an attempt to present the various relationships of poets and cats as exemplified in poems from the earliest times to the present day; for between poets and thjeir catrs, with few exceptions, a natural sympathy seems to exist. This is not surprising, as they have much in common - a love of solitude and peaceful surroundings, a passionate independence, a self-contained and reserved nature, and the priceless gift of knowing how to amuse themselves when alone. The compiler has included over seventy poems, which approach the subject from almost every angle except the patronising and the facetious. In addition to the works of writers in English, the book contains translations of Greek, Latin, Arabic, early Irish, and of many French poems.116 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
