About the Book

"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much."

? Mark Twain

Cats and literature go together like tea and cake. It's not that you can't have one without the other, but there is a certain rightness to the pairing. Writers have chosen many animal companions over the years - often dogs, sometimes a raven (Charles Dickens) or, most oddly, a wombat (Dante Gabriel Rossetti) - but perhaps the most common is the cat.

From Six Dinner Sid and T.S. Eliot's rebellious Rum Tum Tugger to the infuriating Cheshire Cat of Wonderland and Behemoth the Cat, the demonic shapeshifter of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, A Literary Cat for Every Day of the Year draws together quotes and passages from poems and stories in celebration of the most famous cats in literature.

A must-have for all cat-lovers and book lovers, this inspirational collection is the perfect gift for feline fans to treasure all year long.

Highlight's include:

- January: Kiki's Delivery Service, Unofficial Science Fiction Day and Happy birthday Haruki Murakami

- February: Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day and a 'Sonnet to Mrs Reynold's Cat'

- March: World Book Day, Mother's Day and a quick trip to Lewis Caroll's Wonderland

- April: Easter, Happy birthday Nick Hornby and a visit with Granny Weatherwax's kitten, You from Wintersmith

- May: Mother's Day (US), International Towel Day and sit a spell with beloved poet and purveyor of nonsense Edward Lear

- June: Father's Day, Happy birthday Thomas Hardy and a golden moment with literature's most famous (and naughtiest) cats - Behemoth

- July: Spend some time with Henry David Thoreau in Walden, pay a visit to the vast, crumbling castle of Gormenghast and along the way, we'll meet a talking cat from Kafka on the Shore

- August: International Cat Day, Happy birthday Tove Jansson and visit Animal Farm

- September: London Fashion Week, try not to be a scaredy cat with king of horror Stephen King and another visit to Wonderland

- October: Meet some felines with slightly unfortunate names, as well as the awe-inspiring Aslan, and see through the witching hour with the aunts of Practical Magic

- November: National Novel Writing Month, World Science Day for Peace Development and Cat of the Day: Church from Pet Sematary

- December: Merry Christmas! We'll be hanging out with some festive felines this month, including Polar Bear and Mog, as well as the rather terrifying Jolakottur
