From The Paris Review: "You may admire him for his turns in films like Julius Caesar and North by Northwest, but Mason had a parallel life as an animal lover, and with his wife, Pamela, he wrote 1949’s The Cats in Our Lives. The Masons had lots of cats—nine by one reporter’s count—and the book is a collection of anecdotes about their quirks and the inevitable pain that comes of losing beloved pets. Indeed, readers were so moved by the stories of Toy Boy, Tribute, and Whitney Thompson—as well as the loss of Lady Augusta Leeds to a coyote attack—that the Masons found themselves inundated with letters and ultimately published the 1956 follow-up Favorite Cat Stories of Pamela and James Mason."
