The cat: A sensual shapeshifter. A hearth keeper, aloof, tail aloft, stalking vermin. A satanic accomplice. A beloved familiar. A social media darling. A euphemism for reproductive parts. An epithet for the weak. A knitted—and contested—hat on millions of marchers, fists in the air, pink pointed ears poking skyward. Cats and cat references are ubiquitous in art, pop culture, politics, and the occult, and throughout history, they have most often been coded female.
Cat Call is a wide-ranging feminist exploration of the cat archetype that combines historical research, pop culture, art analyses, and original interviews to tease out the connections between myth, history, magic, womanhood in the digital age, and our beloved, clawed companions.

As a person obsessed with her cat, with interests in feminism and witchcraft, this book was a homerun! My second book from this author and both have been excellent and informative reads. If you're curious on how cats and the cat archetype relate to women, witches and feminism, I highly recommend this book!!
Just the right balance of light-hearted and deep; this one explores a myriad of topics relating to women, cats, feminism and sexuality. A fascinating read.
For the careful reader, whether cat lover or not, CatCall offers a tour de force of cat history and the cat’s impact on all aspects of the life of us humans. You will read about the affect cats had on Aristotle, T. S. Eliot, and Jacques Derrida, about the many works of art from ancient to modern that include or refer to cats, about the cat in life and in the media, about cats and religions, about cats and witches and witchcraft, about cats and sexuality and feminism. No other work about cats and femininity has been written to my knowledge that can hold a candle to CatCall. It is original, enlightening, humorous, erudite and fun to read.
An exciting read, even for someone that does not consider herself to be a feminist.
A smart, witty, fascinating and accessible exploration of the cat archetype throughout history. You don't have to be a cat lover to love this book. I learned, I laughed, I was stunned by the encoding of cats and women throughout world history, literature, the arts, and pop culture. Who knew?
Great analysis of the cat archetype within Feminism and the larger societal stereotypes of women.
Who couldn’t enjoy a book that asks “we know cats are sluts, but why are they kinky?” (I also ran into six cats while listening to this book over two walks. SPOOKY)
Sollée writes with clarity and inclusivity and offers a great variety of examples to illustrate her points.
