Sometimes I write blog posts; sometimes they are bestowed upon me. Check out this email from Chris, musing on the cats’ literary counterparts:
Damian—hastily chooses Dr. Seuss but gives himself a migraine thinking of a rhyme for orange. Decides on e e cummings because he thinks it’s hip to write your name in lower case.
Queen Bea- Jane Austen. The sarcasm and insults are so beautifully written you barely know you’re being insulted!
Sparky- Ernest Hemingway before his mental health issues. Or perhaps Robert Louis Stevenson.
Archy- F Scott Fitzgerald
Maggie The Cat- Agatha Christie
ScaredyCat- a ghost writer of course
Miss Timmy- As herself of course. Part of her book tour to promote her autobiography “Little Orphan Timmy: My Rags to Riches Story”
So, who would your cats be–and why?
My shared-with-my-daughter cat, Blackie.
Lazy, laid-back and privileged, so he must be Evelyn Waugh…
I’m surprised no one picked T.S. Eliot, none of that wasteland stuff, but Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats has got to be on there.
