I bought this book on a whim because I saw it on tumblr and I am so happy I did. It is an anthology of Lesbians writing about how important cats are to them, published in 1991. It contains exactly the kind of earnest and wonderful content one would expect of such a book
All cats mentioned are named and they have names like Amazonia, Wicca and Paulose Lautrec
There is a chapter that is just a very earnest letter exchange between the staff of a lesbian book store and a patron who is allergic to cats, that ends with both sides trying to bridge the gap between humans with allergies and the right of a cat to live where she chooses (the cat
gets brushed daily as part of the compromise)
There is a chapter written by an ex-nun who says that her three cats (Mabby, Annie and Buber) taught her how to resist the patriarchal pressure to obey.
The following quote is 100% serious and unironic, “I am aware that patriarchal society gives the lesbians in our household life-and-death power over the cats. I don’t like that but I continue to keep cats in my home because the alternative is worse”
The two author photos on the back have them with their cats.
I love this bit -
