Mazo de la Roche was born on January 15, 1879. This Canadian novelist created a fictional geography based on Ontario, and featured prominently a house she called called Jalna. Her talents included describing cats---she wrote a haunting short story about a cat abandoned by summer vacationers. The author's own cats included Gigi, a honey colored cat raised from a kitten.
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.
