Purr and Yowl

"Cats lick, nuzzle, play, slink, hunt, purr, and yowl, and millions of people are fascinated by them. Among those millions are the poets who contributed work to this anthology. No matter what their gender, orientation, ethnic background, or political and religious views, these poets share a fascination with cats-and despite sometimes bewildering or frustrating us humans, felines provide us pleasure, love, and purpose. So, bless cats. Hooray for cats! And thank you to this anthology's poets for describing and celebrating them in so many different, engaging ways."
