Literature and Cats
Cats with their irresistible charm and mystery have enchanted famous writers. What makes a cat very attractive to writers is because unlike dogs, a cat never interrupts the creative flow with disruptive barking or loud noise.
Famous writers such as Poe, H.G. Wells and Chekhov have even paid homage to their feline friends through poems, stories and essays.
