H. P. Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 to March 15, 1937), one of the first writers of dark fantasy, wrote an essay entitled "Something about cats" in 1926. The author there contrasts the independent and beauty loving cat with servile canine pack animals. The former fine qualities he also called 'Aryan', and so Lovecraft's fans might rather forget this article. Our interest in the historical record is behind our keeping it, since our cat blogs are always about more than the cute, although this aspect may often seem obscured. Cats are always perfect. People, not so much.
