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 21, 1899

Cuba reveres Ernest Hemingway's (July 21, 1899 to July 2, 1961). almost as much as his fellow countrymen do, because he loved Cuba so much. He loved Cuba and cats, among other things. Some of the names he gave his cats include:

Alley Cat,
Boise
Crazy Christian
Dillinger
Ecstasy
Fats
Mr. Feather Puss

Not sure what this lovely kitty is named. It would be interesting to write a story just using his cat names, with the fewest non-cat name words possible.
