You Know How a Cat



will bring a mouse it has

caught and lay it at your



feet so each morning I

bring you a poem that



I've written when I woke

up in the night as my tribute



to your beauty &

a promise of my love.



-James Laughlin



Across the ages, cats have provided their adopted humans with companionship, affection, mystery, and innumerable metaphors.

Cats raise a mirror up to their beholders; cats endlessly captivate and hypnotise, frustrate and delight. To poets, in particular, these enigmatic creatures are the most delightful and beguiling of muses, as they purr, prowl, hunt, play, meow, and nap, often oblivious to their so-called masters. Cat Poems offers a litter of odes to our beloved felines by some of the greatest poets of all time.
