I know they had dogs, Quoodle was one of them, but in reading Chesterton's poetry, it would appear he might have also had cats, possibly even four cats.
If anyone knows anything about the pets at the Chesterton home, let me know.

ReplyDeleteHi, Nancy! Merry Christmas!
I love many of Uncle Gilbert's poems, but I can't think of which ones hint that he must have owned cats. May I ask which ones you mean? =) Thanks!
