Lords of the Housetops - Thirteen Cat Tales

Collection of stories about cats, including narratives from Mark Twain, Honoré de Balzac, Edgar Allan Poe and many others. "Now the cat, independent, liberty-loving, graceful, strong, resourceful, dignified, and self-respecting, has a psychology essentially feline, which has few points of contact with human psychology. The cat does not rescue babies from drowning or say his prayers in real life; consequently any attempt to make him do so in fiction would be ridiculous." Originally released in 1921.
