Just this week I was looking at my library and, feeling like a completionist, I wanted to check that I had an author for every letter of the alphabet. So I went to the bookstore and I picked my "I", as in, Mayumi Inaba. She wrote a book called "Mornings with my cat Mi" which is about the 20 years she was with her cat Mi. Since she found her as a baby stuck high in a fence (someone put her there, she says) til her passing as an old lady. She also dedicates her some poetry every now and then, it's just so sweet. I've just started it
That sounds like such a sweet book! I hope you enjoy it! It's funny, every time I choose a new topic, things just SHOW UP! whether it's an exhibit, or in a free library. It manifests out of thin air!
I love your videos so much - they feature the fun side of reading, but without diluting one's intelligence. Whereas, I usually seem to climbing through another 1,000 page tomb. But, I am quite happy with my present one.
Synchronicity - I just started a book today where the protagonist gets "hired" as a volunteer at a home for the elderly & the first story he reads them is The Black Cat! He never gets to the end of the reading of the story because half his audience has vanished at the torturing of the cat & the remainder of the group leaves by the time the cat is murdered. The guy seems baffled by why his choice of story didn't go over well. I'm making plans to go to the ROM for their quilting exhibit so I will have to try to take in the cat exhibition as well 😸
I hope you go to the ROM it's great!! Okay, this synchronicity is happening to me a lot lately! When I chose "Antarctica" I found the nonfiction on it in a free library, and when I chose this topic I saw an ad on the TTC for the museum. It's like a calling! I hope you enjoy the book!
Love this! But I think I would have trouble reading about cats being tortured. Hemingway loved cats and has very lovingly written accounts of them in TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT and ISLANDS IN THE STREAM. Descendants of his original kitties still roam around his old home in Key West. I have three cats, all females, two are Dubai desert cats and one a Bengal. Their names are: Pixie, Elfie and Sprite! 🐈
It's a short portion, but also very sad. Yes, Hemingway was one of the ultimate cat people in history. Aww, I love that, Hemingway's cat's descendants! Someone should write a children's book on that. I know there's one called Captain Kidd's Cat (told from the cat's POV). Cute names
I just got The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, featuring a demonic black cat called Behemoth (I haven't started it yet). It's my experience that orange cats are the demonic ones😹

You need a short book after this as a palette cleanser! If you're happy that's all that matters. And thank you!
I will check some of thesed things out, especially the latter two short stories!
can't watch now, but looking forward to this one 😀

I associate orange cats with Garfield or Puss in Boots now. I"m a tuxedo cat all the way! Bulgakov is a lot of fun! Enjoy it!
the poe story sounds fun, ive probably read it because i do (did? possibly unhauled?) have a poe collection that i read a few years ago
@@ConnorStompanato it's free online! Very short!
😊😊
Why did you choose to name your cats after such evil fictional people/beings lol?
to frighten the other cats in our neighbourhood
