Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the biographical series, Little House on the Prairie, had a daughter born on December 5, 1886. Her daughter was Rose Wilder, later Rose Wilder Lane. Lane was a writer, possibly a writer earlier than her mom became one. One thing Rose Wilder Lane wrote was travel articles, like the one in Travel World, published in 1923, where she described a friend who loved lilacs, 'like a cat loves catnip."
Kevin Mitnick was born on August 6, 1963. He was at one time the most wanted criminal computer hacker in the world. Nowadays he is a rich (and deservedly so) computer security consultant. His latest book (2008) is titled: "No Tech Hacking: A Guide to Social Engineering, Dumpster Diving, and Shoulder Surfing." Mitnick co-authored this book, and I am not sure if he or his co-author has a cat, but one of them definitely does. This book mentions shredding old mail to use for cat litter.
