Description
'A cat is only ITSELF, representative of the strong forces of life that won't let go'.
For Charles Bukowski, there was something majestic and elemental about cats. He considered them to be sentient beings, whose searing gaze could penetrate deep into our being. Cats see into us; they are on to something.
An illuminating portrait of one very special writer and a lifelong relationship with the animals he considered his most profound teachers, On Cats brings together Bukowski's reflections on the ruthless, resilient, indigent, and endearing creatures he so admired.

On Cats by Charles Bukowski is praised as being a reflective and raw tribute to feline companionship, showcasing Bukowski's tender yet gritty narrative style. Critics often highlight his dual ability to shock and move readers in quick succession, a signature of his writing that melds the stark realities of urban life with moments of unexpected beauty and affection towards his feline co-habitants.

About the Author
Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of three. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944 when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
