10 Cats We Think Host the Reincarnated Souls of Dead Poets

Yes, this is what we think about in our free time. Haven’t you ever been a little curious? Here are 10 cats we think host the dead souls of reincarnated poets.

---

Maya Angelou and this beautiful, UV-protected kitty!

Throughout her nine lives, this cat’s favorite poem is definitely “Still I Rise.”

Norman Mailer and this very distinguished cat.

You know that this cat would rather read The Naked and the Dead on a Friday night instead of go out on the town and drink milk with his cat friends.

Thomas Hardy and this mustachioed, gentlemanly cat.

This cat would certainly direct a production of The Dynasts, all 130 scenes and all.

Sylvia Plath and this very witchy black cat!

Forget Ariel— this cat’s favorite poem is certainly Sylvia Plath’s “Witch Burning.”

T.S. Eliot and a cat that is sure not a Waste (Land).

Is April really the cruelest month? This cat will decide.

Walt Whitman and this cat that really gives "Leaves of Grass" realness.

I’m sure that this cat celebrates himself all the time.

Langston Hughes and a very literary, intelligent cat!

Only the smartest cat can host the body of the genius that wrote “I, Too.”

Both Robert Frost and this kitty know how to rock a good bow tie that stirs the heart of middle America.

This cat will always take the road less traveled (especially in terms of accessories).

This cat is certainly hosting the very.... passionate soul of Allen Ginsberg.

Let’s just say this cat most definitely Howls at night and keeps his owners awake “driven by madness” at 3am.

Last, but certainly not least, here we have the iconic Emily Dickinson with an equally iconic, bonnet-wearing cat.

I’m a little concerned that this cat ate hope (“the thing with feathers'“), but that’s a problem for another day.
