Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Authors are sometimes like tomcats: They distrust all the other toms but they are kind to kittens.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not.
Like most authors, I also love to read.
Cats are anthropomorphised in art because they are so laid back that you automatically attribute human thoughts and feelings to them.
Humans are very complex; I definitely have a new respect for authors that are able to write books nonstop. It's an incredible talent.
I don't get on with novelists, don't enjoy their company. Once you've worked for a publisher, you understand the species, see them in their natural habitat, and it's not always pretty.
Authors are influenced by everything they've ever read. If you've read widely enough, it helps you create your own mix.
Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.
The writers of books are companions in one's life and, as such, are often more interesting than other companions.
Authors are ordinary people who usually start to live apart, in the imagination, because they don't fit in with normal, healthy people.
