These loveable cat poems were written by T.S. Eliot for his godchildren and friends in the thirties. They have delighted generations of children since, and inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber's brilliant musical Cats.  Gabriyella | Jan 24, 2022 |  I'm not a fan of cats but I must admit that this book captivated me with its rhymes and comical anecdotes (  ) Morcys | Dec 29, 2021 | This poetry collection started off delightfully but then slid into full on racism with derogatory racist language. I'm so tired of the old giving things a pass because of the era they were written. (  ) Tosta | Nov 30, 2021 | I'm not sure what to think about this. I mean i knew the stage show was based on these poems, i didn't realise they are effectively the libretto. Its mostly word for word. Also, is this even poetry? I didn't think poetry had chorus's but this does. I might have even had a hard time knowing how to rhyme it without knowing the cadence used in the show. Sidenote, the art now reminds me of the film version :lol . Anyway i don't really feel like i've experienced anything new having read this. (  ) wreade1872 | Nov 28, 2021 | Just some good fun and levity during the hellish end of my master's research project. I'd known "The Naming of Cats" for years, and recited it to my future in-laws over the holidays, and it was about darn time I read the whole thing. Also, fun fact, I'm pretty sure my aunt named her cat Eliot in honor of the author. Yeah, my family's awesome. Again, I forget when I actually read this.

These playful verses by a celebrated poet have delighted readers and cat lovers around the world ever since they were gathered for publication in 1939. As Valerie Eliot has pointed out, there are a number of references to cats in T.S. Eliot's work, but it was to his godchildren, particularly Tom Faber and Alison Tandy, in the 1930s, that he first revealed himself as "Old Possum" and for whom he composed his poems.
