December 7, 1985

Robert Graves was a historian, poet, and student of mythology. He combined these latter interests in his poem "Cat-Goddesses". Here are some charming lines he wrote:

A perverse habit of cat-goddesses...
...is to yield themselves
In verisimilar love-ecstasies
To tatter-eared and slinking alley-toms
No less below the common run of cats
Than they above it...
...Not the least abashed
By such gross-headed, rabbit-colored litters
As soon they shall be happy to desert.

December 7, 1985 is the day Graves died. The full text of "Cat-Goddesses" is here

August 6, 1963

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.
