Carl Van Vechten: On The Cat As True Individual

curator (noreply@blogger.com) — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:11:00 UTC

From Carl Van Vechten's The Tiger in the House (1922), Chapter Thirteen, "Apotheosis." Van Vechten had the strongest of opinions on the cat's individuality and what mankind could learn from it, as you'll see. I think cats need us a little more than he's willing to concede.

Horme — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:24:37 UTC

I spent the last week house-sitting and amusing my friends cat. The fact that I volunteered to cat sit, I am sure is raising a few eyebrows among my friends, as I am allergic to felines.
