The second Cat Thursday of each month is Authors and Cats Thursday. Each time I will feature an author, pictured with their/a cat(s), or guest posts by cat loving authors who also (sometimes) write about cats.
I've learned of so many authors and poets I otherwise might not have known about if not searching for authors and cats for these posts.
Poet Elizabeth Bishop is one of them. Turns out, she was a great lover of cats. Her childhood cat was named Minnow. Serendipity! I also had a cat named Minnow when I was a child. I love poetry so I will definitely be seeking out her works.
Elizabeth Bishop (February 08, 1911 - October 06, 1979) was an American poet and writer from Worcester, Massachusetts. She was the Poet Laureate of the United States from 1949 to 1950, a Pulitzer Prize winner in 1956. and a National Book Award Winner for Poetry in 1970. She is considered one of the most important and distinguished American poets of the 20th century. (

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.
I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.
