The things you find on the internet...

Something nice and quirky to look at in between belated Christmas shopping and/or driving around relations, if you like both cats and literature:

In which some inspired people collected photos of writers with their cats. Not just of the English speaking world, either, though it dominates. My country so far is solely represented by Arno Schmidt and Herman Hesse. (Hm, wasn't Erich Kästner into cats? Must research.) I must say, some of the cats depicted with their writers make me slightly worried for the cats because of what the writers did to them in fiction - Edgar Allen Poe and Stephen King come to mind... (No, it's not the horror factor. I would never worry about any of the cats depicted with Neil Gaiman. His fictional cats tend to pwn everyone, as opposed to getting mangled and zombiefied.)

I particularly like Truman Capote & friend, both of whom look rather pleased with themselves.

I note that the French cats seem to share Tabitha's policy of "just because you're typing doesn't mean I can't sit on you".

That's Ivy's policy as well, which is why I do most of my typing when I'm not with the Aged Parents. (Ivy being the cat who owns them.)
