The Cat on My Shoulder: Writers and Their Cats by Lisa Angowski Rogak, Joyce Carol Oates, Edward Gorey, Mary Gaitskill, Richard Scarry

pussreboots's review

4.0

Published authors are not necessarily the best at writing about cats. A good many of these essays read as laundry lists of cats currently and previously owned with some gushing sentiment thrown in to the mix. Some of the authors though had a little more fun with their essays. My favorite essays of the lot are by: Lloyd Alexander, Edward Gorey, Barbara Mertz, and Sue Grafton.
