Alice Norton, (February 17, 1912 to March 17, 2005) is well known within science/fantasy circles. She used several pseudonyms, like Andre Norton, and became a successful writer (becoming a Gandalf Grand Master of Fantasy, a SFWA Grand Master, and being inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame.) She was a librarian until her success allowed her to quit and spend her time writing.
Norton was a cat lover and besides having them in her home, she worked them into her stories. We see this in these titles:
Catseye (1961)
The Gate of the Cat (1987)
The Mark of the Cat (1992)
Tiger Burning Bright (1995),
There is a free copy of her short story, "All Cats Are Gray," here. "All Cats Are Gray," first published in Fantastic Universe, Aug./Sep. 1953-- is considered a classic.
