Charles Bukowski’s cat was a literary critic
On Cats, hardcover at National Bookstores, Php955.
It turns out that Charles Bukowski, the poet of the American lowlife, loved cats, took in many strays, and admired their toughness and no-bullshit ways.

I’m saving up for this.
My favorite bit from On Writing is his letter to a friend or editor, where he grumbled about the so-called literary scene, only to say later that what he wanted to write him about was his new cat, that he didn’t know what to name him yet.
