Pierre Loti, a French writer, died on June 10th, 1923. His fondness for cats was widely publicized, partly because he wrote a book about them: The Lives of Two Cats, published in English in 1902. This volume tells the story of Pussy White and Pussy Gray, and their happy lives in a literary household.
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.
