CATS

Cats make wonderful, friendly and independent pets. Most cat owners appreciate their cat’s’ friendship and affection. Mark Twain the famous author had at one time in his Connecticut home 19 cats. Famous poet T.S.Elliot composed his book of poems entitled CATS which has become a famous musical. Artist Andy Warhol owed 25 cats all in his Eastside Townhouse. Henri Matisse famous French Artist had several cats and would often put them in his paintings. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had four cats. Pablo Picasso owned several cats in his life since a young age. Artist Salvador Dali owned a cat he took everywhere even to restaurants. All of these cat owners were listed in a book entitled Artists and Their Cats by Alison Nastasu. She dedicated the book to ” For Griffin and Sascha the greatest cats an artist could ever hope for”

As an adoring cat owner myself I fully understand these artists and writers attachment to their cats. I had my first cat at 8 years old. His name was Freddy. I now have two remarkable cats Pinky and Spaz. Pinky is an 18 year old gray and white long hair I have had her for 17 years, and Spaz is an 8 year old tuxedo cat I have had for 7 years. They bring me joy, humor and good company. Not everyone is a Cat Person my Sister like so many people are alergic to cats. That is too bad that they cannot enjoy the wonder of cats. I would recommend cats as great pets to anyone without alergies.
