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.
