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.

November 22

Today's post in the Cat Lover's Almanac quotes the Oxford University Press Blog about -- almanacs. Since they specify such a thing as 'Almanac Day' "around November 22", the author of the Cat Lover's Almanac  is the current writer  spotlighted in this space.  First, from the OUP blog:

As well as Halloween, Guy Fawkes, and All Saints’s day, this time of the year used to see another day of fun and frenzy. ‘Almanac Day’, towards the end of November, saw the next year’s almanacs go on sale. It generally came round on or about 22 November: St Cecilia’s Day. In London, Stationers’ Hall would be crammed to the rafters...

  And  on Almanac Day, this almanackist will share  that our household has three cats, all black, mainly black, or blackish and orangish. For a total of 11 paws.  All awesome.  Oh, and this blog has a total of 2,917 published posts as of today.
