In addition to writing, fishing and cruising for u-boats in the Caribbean (https://mastodon.social/@HollandHouseBooks/111538806885709007) , Hemingway was also a cat-man.

Had a fun time discovering about the Brontës pets - especially the cats!
Emily had a cat called Tiger, who would sleep on her feet when she was writing, (instant kitty slippers!) & I tried creating an illustration of Emily with Tiger, based on a claimed photograph of her. Also on @thepennybloodspodcast - hop over & take a look!

Happy #Caturday !

The Brontës were cat lovers as well as great storytellers - Black Tom was, according to Ellen Nussey, "everybody’s favourite."
Emily painted a watercolour of the famlly dogs with her pet cat Tiger (who, being a cat, always takes centre stage in the painting, of course....)

Here's our impression of Emily with Tiger.
