On Cats

Doris Lessing, one of the most celebrated writers of our time and 2007 Nobel Prize winner in Literature, has always loved cats. From a young age on the African farm where she grew up, cats played a vital role, and as she grew, cats shared her flats and her life in London. In "On Cats," Lessing tells the CATivating story of the cats who have made an impact on her life, most notably El Magnifico, the last cat to share her life. As she tells the story of the cats, Lessing also tells the story of her life in relation to cats: the language that develops between human and cat, the ways the animals affect her, and more. Touching and intimate, this is a beautiful memoir about the love of our feline friends.
