The Great Cat

Poems About Cats

The Great Cat is a charming and richly curated anthology that pays poetic tribute to the mysterious elegance and eternal allure of the cat. Spanning centuries and cultures, this delightful collection captures felines in all their moods and movements—prowling, purring, prancing, and surveying the world with their signature air of superiority. From Yeats’s Minnaloushe to T. S. Eliot’s Rum Tum Tugger, from Sufi mystics to haiku masters, the book brings together voices as varied as Shakespeare, Dickinson, Borges, and Neruda, each drawn to the singular magic of the cat. Whether it’s a panther, a kitten, or the mischievous feline in a striped hat, The Great Cat is an irresistible celebration for cat lovers and literary enthusiasts alike.
