#something about cats

[hplovecraftmuseum]

For H. P. Lovecraft cats were the most noble of beasts. His essay "SOMETHING ABOUT CATS" was a delineation of his love and respect for the species. Cats were sleek, independent, aloof, graceful, and perhaps gifted with senses approaching the 'supernatural'. No doubt Lovecraft's experience with his own beloved pet cat in childhood had a lot to do with his affection for the creatures. Cats were the ladies and gentlemen of lifeforms. Being a gentleman was always Lovecraft's goal. His friends told stories of the efforts he made to befriend even the most wild of cats wherever he lived. Robert Barlow called his interaction with cats "orgasmic"! Others said that Lovecraft would fail to move for hours if a cat fell asleep in his lap. His wife Sonia Green was said to have stated (perhaps with more than a little jealousy), "He'd rather take a cat to bed!" The paintings below were originally the works of artist Lucia Heffernan.

Not beating the allegations

I forgot who was it that told me, a long time ago, that i had cat-like social behaviors. Like, in a "that's kinda cute" way.

it was one of those moments that just made me pay a bit more attention, to see if there's anything to it (god forbid i just take the compliment and move on).

And, like, yeah. Not just socially hshshsh like sure i do circle around for a while before attempting to engage, and I'm fairly careful with personal space, and generally quiet, and nocturnal, and prefer company in small groups, socializing by being in the same room and just watching you do your stuff.

But there's the uh kneading. Rubbing face on surfaces (soft ones though, cats will headbutt a cactus hhhh), the perpetual desire to Be Comfy, sensitivity to smells and noises, the 2am zoomies, the "i'll be the clingiest cuddliest mf for 20min then go about my day" moments, the overstimulation (bad and good).

Just like juanita, i wanna walk in like "hi hello hi i love you tell me about your day hi hi hi" and then lay down for an indefinite amount of time

Cover of a 1983 issue of The TWILIGHT ZONE Magazine. A sort of 'mock interview' of Lovecraft is conducted for 8 pages by TZ and HPL. Actually the interview is the creation of long-time Lovecraft scholar Peter Canon. Lovecraft's essay, SOMETHING ABOUT CATS, with an introduction and notes by S. T. Joshi is also included in this edition. Both articles appear with some interesting illustrations. (Exhibit 231)
