Freya Stark, British traveler, and author, died on May 9, 1993. In her Baghdad Sketches she described how at night sometimes cats jumped through her open bedroom window, from the roof of the mosque next door. She also relayed a quotation about how it takes two cats to produce one kitten, but only one kitten to produce a cat. (This was a joke about the superiority of youth.)
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.
