    About “Auf leisen Pfoten. Geschichten und Gedichte von Katzen und Katern”

    In literature, cats appear in the most varied roles: sometimes as willful strays, sometimes as familiar companions, or as a riddle no one can solve. This selection spans three centuries and shows how differently poets and writers have looked at these animals.

    Familiar figures such as Puss in Boots stand alongside less well-known finds, for example a fairy tale about a flower and a snowball. Sometimes the cat tells the story herself, and sometimes the people who live with her observe her stubbornness.

    What do these voices reveal about the coexistence of humans and animals, and what picture stays in your mind when the book is closed?

    Who is “Auf leisen Pfoten. Geschichten und Gedichte von Katzen und Katern” for?

    This book is for cat lovers and for anyone who wants to read literature in short pieces. Readers who enjoy anthologies with classic authors such as Kafka or Musil will find a selection here that ranges from fairy tales to lyric poetry. The volume also makes a good gift for lovers of literature.

    When is “Auf leisen Pfoten. Geschichten und Gedichte von Katzen und Katern” the best read?

    An evening on the sofa, ideally with a cat beside you, is a good fit. At around 220 pages, the selection can be read in small portions. The book is especially suited as a Christmas gift, since the series also includes a volume for Advent, “Es weihnachtet sehr”.

    In what order should you read the “Die schönsten Geschichten und Gedichte” series?
