The Book, Cat, & Cat Book Lovers Almanac

of historical trivia regarding books, cats, and other animals. Actually this blog has evolved so that it is described better as a blog about cats in history and culture. And we take as a theme the advice of Aldous Huxley: If you want to be a writer, get some cats. Don't forget to see the archived articles linked at the bottom of the page.

July 10, 1856

Nikola Tesla (July 10, 1856 to January 7, 1943) is a Serbian whose scientific ideas helped create modernity. I cannot really evaluate Tesla's significance. You might think, well, she can speak authoritatively on his cat. But, no. We read the cat's name was Macak. I have grown weary trying to trace all the vandalism in cat names and stories.
In honor of Tesla's birthday, here a link to the assessment of a modern fan of his. Let me just say that Tesla did think he could talk to pigeons. However I don't see that as evidence of insanity. I myself am trying to communicate with crows.

And the same cartoonist (Matthew Inman), is big on cats.
