Excerpt from The Great Small Cat, and Others: Seven Tales Although cats are brimful of human whims and moods and are also very human in their de votian to home, order and cleanliness, they are decidedly slow in attaching themselves to humans and not quick to give them their friendship. Un like a dog, they maintain a rather haughty inde pendence in the matter of reciprocity, and after they have decided that you are worthy of the honor of their confidence, and they have given it.

Two centuries of literary homages to the fascinating feline: stories by writers of every stripe—from P.G. Wodehouse to Doris Lessing, from Damon Runyon to Steven Millhauser. The essential unknowableness of cats has inspired many flights of fancy: Italo Calvino’s secret city of cats in “The Garden of Stubborn Cats,” the disappearing feline in Ursula K. Le Guin’s mind-twisting “Schrödinger’s Cat,” the cartoon rodent and his cartoon nemesis in Steven Millhauser’s “Cat ’n’ Mouse.” Cats flaunt their superiority in Angela Carter’s bawdy retelling of “Puss-in-Boots” and in Stephen Vincent Benét’s “The King of the Cats,” in which two impossibly suave foreigners are revealed as even more exotic than they pretend to be. In “The Islands” by Alice Adams and “I See You, Bianca” by Maeve Brennan we see how much cats can mean to their humans. And the inimitable Saki lets us hear what cats really think of us in “Tobermory,” his tale of a tactless talking animal. In these and other stories, this delightful book offers cat lovers a many- faceted tribute to the beguilingly mysterious objects of their affection.

This is the definitive book on classical cats. The cat has played a significant role in history from the earliest times. Well known is its role in the religion and art of ancient Egypt, no less than its association with witchcraft in the Middle Ages. But when did the cat become a domestic companion and worker as well? There has been much debate about the position of the cat in ancient Greece and Rome. Artistic representations are sometimes ambiguous, and its role as a mouse-catcher seems often to have been carried out by weasels. Yet other evidence clearly suggests that the cat was as important to Greeks and Romans as it is to many modern people. This book is the first comprehensive survey of the evidence for cats in Greece and Rome, and of their functions and representations in art. Donald Engels draws on authors from Aesop to Aristotle; on vase-painting, inscriptions and the plastic arts; and on a thorough knowledge of zoology of the cat. He also sets the ancient evidence in the wider context of the Egyptian period that preceded it, as well as the views of the Church fathers who ushered antiquity into the Middle Ages.

Excerpt from The Soul of a Cat, and Other Stories But in the first case, too, it would seem to be a relevant point to ask which dog and which cat and to those who profess not to like the character of the cat one might put first the counter-question as to whether they like the character of the human being.

Excerpt from The Rainbow Cat: And Other Stories The Rainbow Cat was sitting quietly at the door of his house one sunny day. He felt rather bored. Fairyland had been very quiet lately. I think it's time I set out on a voyage of adventure, he said suddenly. I shall get fat and stupid if I don't do something of the sort. So he shut up his house, put a notice on the door to say that he hoped to be back some day, if not sooner, and that letters and parcels were to be thrown down the chimney, and started off on his journey with a nice little wallet of assorted oddments tied to his tail, together with a neat parcel con taining his party bow and his dancing-slippers. For one never knows, said the Rainbow Cat, whom one may meet, and it is always well to be prepared for anything. He went on, and on until he came to the edge of Fairyland, where the clouds begin. I may as well pay the cloud-folk a visit, thought he, and he began climbing up the clouds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
