"Who would've known? Every famous poet has owned a cat who wrote in the same style he did. For example, Lord Byron's cat wrote "She Walks in Booties," John Donne's Cat wrote "Vet Be Not Proud," Robert Frost's cat wrote "Sitting by the Fire on a Snowy Evening," and T. S. Eliot's cat wrote "The Love Song of J. Morris Housecat." By far the most charming was Poe's cat, who didn't sit idly by while his master chatted with the Raven: "Then I crouched and quickly leapt up, pouncing on the feathered bore. Soon he was a heap of plumage, and a little blood and gore, only this, and nothing more." There are poems by thirty-nine clever felines, but the book has such a limited audience, it's already out of print. Five stars, if you can find it."
