I respect cats and am ultimately am a dog person. But my favorite cat would have to be Mahitable by Don Marquis. Have you ever read it?

I am a cat person who has a dog, so I'm both, I guess 🤣

I haven't read it; looks like it might be out of print. I love old children's books though, I'll keep an eye out at used book stores.

I'm definitely a cat person. And a dream of mine has come true: we informally have a cat sanctuary. We feed stray cats and recently a pregnant cat came to us, approved of our shelter and had 3 gorgeous kittens on our porch. We have been able to place 2 calicos with a loving home and plan to invite the Mom and the white kitten inside.

Burroughs seemed convinced that the cats had chosen him and not the other way around. It sounds like you've been chosen too! I'm sure Burroughs would believe the white cat to be significant, like a psychic companion arriving just as you were in the right place to receive one. That's really cool :)

Wow! That's a lovely way to see this experience. And this white kitten (Snowball) in particular has bonded with me. It's a lovely thought to know I was chosen. Thanks for sharing this idea!
