A cat book
A Cat Book, published in 1927, is a small volume of light verse by E. V. Lucas with drawings by Pat Sullivan, the creator of Felix the Cat. Each short poem takes one trait of the animal, its daintiness, greed, dream of cream, cleanliness, conscience, playfulness, cruelty, fondness for fish, seriousness, impatience, friends and enemies, short-sightedness, masterfulness and sleeplessness, and ends with a glance at the cat's future. The verses are brief and good-humored, written by an essayist who was a lifelong lover of cats, and the pictures carry at least half the charm. The whole book can be read in a few minutes. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first poems are free.
