The Old Racist Cat

Product Information

We all used to love watching Winnie the Pooh and seeing Tigger bounce up and down, but it isn’t a great name for a cat. And this is where Lovecraft’s writing turns both brilliant and inescapably racist. Because much of this metaphor is built not just around Lovecraft’s dread of the universe, but his fear of race-mixing. Lovecraft’s racism left a long shadow over the genre he popularized Some people exist in the world who name their felines Dog. This act is likely done to be humorous but doesn’t make any sense. This name may be slightly more common among dogs than cats, but it is still a name which has been used too many times.

Lovecraft holding his friend's cat, posted by sandinlungs-blog, writing, "lovecraft and his cat n-… Ah, this myth rears its ugly head again. The truth is that people who think a cat is going to have a certain temperament will approach that cat with the expectation of that behavior. And then there’s the classic “Texas Sharpshooter” logical fallacy — finding a pattern to fit a presumption — which causes people to chalk up perfectly normal cat behavior to “tortitude.” However, The Aristocats could work as an update, musically and in terms of one particular scene which has become infamous for its insensitive portrayal of cultural stereotypes.All of these writers tended to play with the idea that unnatural or supernatural elements, perhaps even entire worlds, lurked just outside civilization, often adjacent or right next door to it; their unassuming (white male) characters often stumbled into or encountered these worlds and supernatural forces by accident. Lovecraft, working within the tradition in fiction of borrowing from and remixing other stories, often directly borrowed story elements from many of his fellow writers. Several recurring images run throughout their collective works, such as Bierce’s fictional city of Carcosa and Chambers’s “ the Yellow King,” both signifiers of encounters with other worlds and the unholy, unknowable monster who rules them. Both examples show us that the act of disavowing racism in all forms in the UK is not morally universal, but contextual, mitigated and dependent on what side you are on. Put simply, being anti-racist is something that is up for debate. Now contrast all this with the public’s near total and uniform reaction to Zouma’s abhorrent abuse of his cat. No context required here. No mitigation. No debate. No redemption. It is wrong, plain and simple. Blame that cat food commercial with the white Persian eating gourmet food out of a crystal bowl for this one. Some research has revealed that white cats tend to be more timid than cats of other colors, and if you were a shy kid like I was, you probably got called a snob because your fear of approaching people was mistaken for arrogance and condescension. This act — allowing people to share his ideas and his story elements — probably did more than anything else to help spread Lovecraft’s stories and his particular view of horror: what we call “Lovecraftian” today. But Lovecraft never reaped any broader acclaim for his work in his lifetime. He died penniless and unknown in 1937, at the age of 46, just before World War II.

Mittens I detest when people name their cats something like “Stupid” or “Idiot.” If you think so low of your kitty, then you shouldn’t be a cat owner. True to the Sci-Fi and slave narrative forms at its roots, the style is a blend of 19th-century sentimentalism and the more lucid prose of science fiction. Readers who prefer eloquence without all the flowery dressings of earlier literature but still want to dive into that earlier time will feel right at home in Butler’s work. Cats can also be sensitive to differences in cultures, such as the clothes they wear, scents, or body language. For example, if your cat has never seen someone wearing a head scarf or a hat, they would have an apprehensive disposition towards that person initially.
