Hemingway's Cats:  An Illustrated Biography by Carlene Fredericka Brennan
 
A pleasurable, unpretentious portrait of the writer from the perspective of his relationships with cats, including the famous 6-toed cats of Key West.  Ever see those two words "pleasurable" and "unpretentious" associated with any take on Hemingway?  Thought not.  Hundreds of pictures, many wonderful stories, ultimately very moving.  Includes an encyclopedia of the cats and their fates, when known.
