The Cork Arts Theatre is fondly called ‘The Cat Club’ by many Corkonians. It is fitting therefore that, as we come to the end of our CAT O’9 TALES series, we dedicate an episode entirely to poems about cats.

Thank you to our readers who have selected some wonderful pieces that can be enjoyed by all ages: Angela McDonald, Marion Wyatt, Alex Glennon, Lola Pearse, Kieran O’Leary, Ger FitzGibbon, Mary D. Healy, Tess Healy Maguire and Shane Casey.

Please share!
