Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social |
This is a photo from the sweet and funny book The Silent Miaow by Paul Gallico with photos by Suzanne Szasz. It's a cute manual that teaches stray cats how to train humans and get them to let you move in and take over. archive.org/details/sile...

If you sign up for a free Internet Archive account you can read the whole thing there, or used copies of it are generally available for cheap on eBay, etc. It was originally published in 1964.

Thank you for making me think of my late best friend and substitute grandad, who gave me this book when I got my first cat.

I absolutely adore that book. I used to check it out from my library every few years until I finally found a used copy of my own.

I think Paul Gallico may have been a cat person. He wrote 3 children's books where the central character is a cat.

I need someone to read it to Mama. When she had five babies under our shed, we caught them all. One of the babies is Tufts, my avatar, who we kept. Mama was not interested in a tame life, so she was TNRed. But we still see & feed her often.
