About the author
Patricia Highsmith
460听books4,781听followersPatricia Highsmith was an American novelist who is known mainly for her psychological crime thrillers which have led to more than two dozen film adaptations over the years.
She lived with her grandmother, mother and later step-father (her mother divorced her natural father six months before 'Patsy' was born and married Stanley Highsmith) in Fort Worth before moving with her parents to New York in 1927 but returned to live with her grandmother for a year in 1933. Returning to her parents in New York, she attended public schools in New York City and later graduated from Barnard College in 1942.
Shortly after graduation her short story 'The Heroine' was published in the Harper's Bazaar magazine and it was selected as one of the 22 best stories that appeared in American magazines in 1945 and it won the O Henry award for short stories in 1946. She continued to write short stories, many of them comic book stories, and regularly earned herself a weekly $55 pay-check. During this period of her life she lived variously in New York and Mexico.
Her first suspense novel 'Strangers on a Train' published in 1950 was an immediate success with public and critics alike. The novel has been adapted for the screen three times, most notably by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951.
In 1955 her anti-hero Tom Ripley appeared in the splendid 'The Talented Mr Ripley', a book that was awarded the Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere as the best foreign mystery novel translated into French in 1957. This book, too, has been the subject of a number of film versions. Ripley appeared again in 'Ripley Under Ground' in 1970, in 'Ripley's Game' in 1974, 'The boy who Followed Ripley' in 1980 and in 'Ripley Under Water' in 1991.
Along with her acclaimed series about Ripley, she wrote 22 novels and eight short story collections plus many other short stories, often macabre, satirical or tinged with black humour. She also wrote one novel, non-mystery, under the name Claire Morgan , plus a work of non-fiction 'Plotting and Writing Suspense Fiction' and a co-written book of children's verse, 'Miranda the Panda Is on the Veranda'.
She latterly lived in England and France and was more popular in England than in her native United States. Her novel 'Deep Water', 1957, was called by the Sunday Times one of the "most brilliant analyses of psychosis in America" and Julian Symons once wrote of her "Miss Highsmith is the writer who fuses character and plot most successfully ... the most important crime novelist at present in practice." In addition, Michael Dirda observed "Europeans honoured her as a psychological novelist, part of an existentialist tradition represented by her own favorite writers, in particular Dostoevsky, Conrad, Kafka, Gide, and Camus."
She died of leukemia in Locarno, Switzerland on 4 February 1995 and her last novel, 'Small g: a Summer Idyll', was published posthumously a month later.

short review for busy readers: three cat stories: 1 an action thriller, 1 a creepy paranormal, and 1 a typical Highsmith pseudo-mystery. All three originally appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in the 1950s. The cat characters are excellently done in all of them. Suitable also for dog people!
In detail:
Even as a dog person, I enjoyed all of these fictional cats quite a lot. Only the final - and longest - story was a bit too bland in plot to really convince. The cat, though,...spot on!
Story summaries:
In the thriller "Ming's Biggest Prey," a pampered kitty outwits a cat killer who wants its lady owner all to himself. High ninja cat action!
In the paranormal "The Empty Birdhouse," a mysterious vole-like creature invades a couple's house and their solution? Borrow a cat to find and kill it. Only the cat they manage to borrow on short notice is decidedly NOT like other cats! *cue Twilight Zone music*
In the pseudo-mystery "Something the Cat Dragged In," a cat brings home the severed hand of a fresh human corpse and, instead of calling the police, its family tries to identify and catch the killer on their own. Typical Highsmith, this one.
Completely recommendable for an interlude between longer reads.

There was nothing made for me,
No, not even the fireplace,
For sometimes I am cold and there is no fire,
And other times I am not allowed here.
Shadows bore me, and if they are a mistery
It is a dull one. My great-great-great grandchildren
Play foolish around me, but I know by now
The undersides of things are just the undersides,
And behind the half open door
Is another room like this one.
I like to sit with my eyes half shut,
Because I have seen everything.
Even the mice can come within inches,
Knowing I have forgotten our old war.
Only my great-great-great grandchildren
Annoy me sometimes, pulling at my tail,
Slipping and sliding over me.
I give them a good box on the ears,
And go back where I left off thinking.
I am at peace with everything.

This book should rather be called "creepy morbid storys that might have a cat in it" because the story's aren't really about cats (they might appear for a second in the book but aren't really relevant to the plot either) and definitely not suitable for children. Also as a person who also occasionally enjoys thriller and murder mysteries. This book wasn't a good "creepy morbid story" either. Absolutely disappointing.

Das Erste, was mir zu diesem Buch einf盲llt: ein furchtsamer Seitenblick auf meinen Kater.
Das Besondere an diesem Buch: In diesen drei Geschichten werden die Samtpfoten mal von ihrer gar nicht so samtigen Seite gezeigt. Sie haben die versteckte Hauptrolle und beeinflussen den Verlauf der drei Geschichten und das Leben ihrer Herrchen/Frauchen massiv ohne sich in den Mittelpunkt zu dr盲ngen oder wirklich VIEL zu tun. Und dabei kommt nicht unbedingt das Beste f眉r die Menschen heraus... ;)
Das nicht so Sch枚ne an diesem Buch: Ich kann eigentlich nichts Genaues benennen. Die Geschichten waren gruselig und einfallsreich, aber nicht TOTAL herausragend. Ich werde sicher noch ein Patricia Highsmith-Buch in die Hand nehmen. Um die Autorin kennenzulernen ist das Mini-B眉chlein super, um sich ein wirkliches Urteil erlauben zu k枚nnen, muss man aber sicher etwas mehr lesen.
Einfallsreiche und ganz ungew枚hnliche Katzengeschichten - ein Kontrastprogramm zu all den s眉脽en Katzenb眉chern da drau脽en.

N茫o sou muito chegada em livros de suspense/policiais, mas gostei bastante dos contos da Patricia Highsmith! Tamb茅m acho muito bom que ela tenha sido uma grande escritora desse g锚nero liter谩rio muito protagonizado por homens ainda em meados do s茅culo XX! Recomendo a leitura!

There are three stories in this little book. I found the first one very strange. I understood the larger ulterior motive, but it still confused me.
The second one was... Macabre! 馃檲 You expect anything, but not this!
Story three was written in a crazy, funny way, with typical English characters that I really laughed at. The denouement was crazy.
On the whole, I liked it a lot.

Um livrinho simp谩tico sobre gatos. Tr锚s contos breves, com leve suspense e centrados ao redor de felinos, desenhos divertidos espalhados pelas p谩ginas, tr锚s singelos poemas e um ensaio que diz muito, em poucas palavras, sobre a rela莽茫o de escritores com seus gatos. Pequeno (s茫o pouco mais de 100 p谩ginas), vale a leitura para os gateiros de plant茫o.

Preso in biblioteca il 17/02 giorni della Festa Nazionale del Gatto. Non mi 猫 piaciuto molto, pensavo a qualcosa di pi霉 originale; dei tre racconti ne ho apprezzato soltanto uno, quello che secondo me aveva un senso. Gli altri due non ho capito a quale pro siano stati scritti. 馃惥馃惥

Os contos s茫o melhores que o ensaio, que 茅 melhor do que os poemas.

Thousand stars, if I could!
It's an amazing book! I just couldn't stop reading! Ok,I'm suspect to talk about it, after all, I'm in love with cats. It is the first reading of a work of P. Highsmith: although it is not the custom of reading the genre, loved the stories! In particular the second: "The biggest prey of Ming", I was anxious about the risk that Ming was running, locked me from the first line. The illustrations are wonderful and the essay, full of tenderness, gracefully ends the little volume.
I won another bedside book, no doubt!

Daria mil estrelas, se pudesse!
脡 um livro incr铆vel! Sou suspeita pra falar, afinal, sou apaixonada por gatos. 脡 a primeira leitura de uma obra de P. Highsmith: embora n茫o tenha o costume de ler o g锚nero, adorei os contos! Em especial o segundo: "A maior presa de Ming", fiquei angustiada com o risco que Ming estava correndo, me prendeu desde a primeira linha. As ilustra莽玫es s茫o maravilhosas e o ensaio, cheio de ternura, encerra graciosamente o volumezinho.

Piacevolissimi e inquietanti i racconti contenuti in questo volume della Highsmith Dei gatti e degli uomini.
Di solito non apprezzo molto la forma del racconto, ancor meno quei racconti incompiuti che sembrano romanzi abortiti sul nascere, questi invece sono decisamente compiuti, racchiusi.
Il volume contiene 3 racconti (Qualcosa che il gatto ha portato in casa, in cui il gatto mette in moto una sorta di giallo con tanto di assassini e ricerca del colpevole; La pi霉 grossa preda di Ming, in cui un gatto non apprezzato si difende; La casetta degli uccelli vuota, il pi霉 inquietante dei racconti contenuti nel volume con la sua ineluttabilit脿 dell鈥檈terno ritorno dell鈥檌dentico), 3 poesie (Gattino; Gatto e Gatto vecchio) e un saggio (A proposito di gatti e di stili di vita, in cui l鈥檃utrice cerca di spiegare la sua passione per i gatti); completano il volumetto 7 disegni.

Racconti! ma forse perch茅 questa volta si trattava di gatti o perch茅 non erano cosi tanti da poi non ricordarsi qual'era il primo racconto, comunque sia questo libro mi piacque, soprattutto quella in cui si parla di quello che il micio pu貌 pensare o sentire, credo che amiamo cosi tanto loro che veramente ci crediamo capaci di scodificare il loro linguaggio, i loro movimenti, i loro sguardi. E ricordo che ci fu uno che una volta afferm貌 che non possedevano un'anima! Ja!

I really enjoyed one of the short stories, the rest of this short book did not really resonate with me...
