Playful kittens and ruthless predators, beloved pets and witches' familiars - cats of all kinds come alive in these pages. Maeve Brennan and Alice Adams explore what cats can mean to their humans; Patricia Highsmith imagines the feline point of view; Kipling celebrates the independence of cats in his tale, 'The Cat That Walked by Himself'. Cats are featured in Angela Carter's retelling of 'Puss-in-Boots' and Stephen Vincent Benét's 'The King of the Cats'. Humorous stories by P.G. Wodehouse and Saki are also included. The anthology offers many-faceted motifs on cats, including Italo Calvino's city of cats, Ursula K. Le Guin's 'Schrodinger's Cat', and Steven Millhauser's 'Cat 'n' Mouse'.
