Poems to Read to Your Cat

A charming anthology celebrating cats as seen through the eyes of some of the world’s greatest poets. From pampered Victorian pets and mystical moon-gazers to mischievous kittens and aloof companions, this cat poetry anthology gathers 75 poems that capture feline behaviour with all its elegance, pride, grace and inscrutability. Spanning centuries of poetry , from Renaissance rhymes and Romantic meditations to English Victorian nonsense verse and moody American modernism, the poems in this feline-themed gift book reveals that while human history may change, cats do not. They sleep, they judge, they disappear precisely when needed most – and they inspire remarkable devotion in the people who live with them. This is the perfect literary gift for cat owners and cat lovers alike, with something for everyone, from modern cat poems to classic animal poems and cats in history. Perfect for reading aloud (whether your cat is listening or not), this beautifully illustrated gift book is a celebration of literature, companionship and the enduring truth cats have always known: they are superior to us.
