Some of historyโs greatest men have been cat lovers, and their cats have contributed to their genius and legacy: the static charge from a catโs fur sparked young Nikola Teslaโs interest in electricity; Sir Isaac Newton is said to have invited the first cat flap; visitors to Ernest Hemingway and Winston Churchillโs homes still encounter the descendants of their beloved cats; William S. Burroughs and Andy Warhol both wrote books inspired by their feline friends.
Stylishly illustrated and full of charming, witty profiles and quotes from historyโs most notable โcat men,โ Of Cats and Men pays tribute to thirty luminaries and visionaries who have one thing in common: a pure and enduring love of cats.
