I now live in a 411-square-foot studio apartment in Greenwich Village with my second wife, Ann, and two cats. How did I get here? I’m a writer of books and articles, the majority about food and cooking and chefs, for which I’ve won three James Beard Awards and a Best American Food Writing Award.

Seven Essays On Cats

2 weeks ago | memoirland.substack.com | Anandi Mishra

I fell in love with cats only recently. Six years ago, my partner and I moved into a new neighbourhood in New Delhi known more for its stray dogs than cats, and fell completely in love with these scrappy little furry beings.
