Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the popular Victorian novelist was born on June 11, 1851. Cats figure in a minor fashion in most of her novels. She describes in her Recollections, how as a child, her family nursed a sick cat.
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.
