Cat Man James Mason

Legendary British actor James Mason (1909 to 1984) was a devoted lover of animals, particularly cats. 

He and his wife, Pamela Mason, co-authored the book The Cats in Our Lives, which was published in 1949; James also illustrated it.

The Cats in Our Lives
ASIN: ‎B000PHVGH4
Publisher: Current Books, Inc., First Edition (January 1, 1949)
Language: English
Hardcover: ‏ 199pages

 In The Cats in Our Lives, he recounted humorous and touching tales of the cats (as well as a few doggos) they had known and loved.

Haven't yet had to pleasure of thumbing through this book.

Images found on the interwebs.
Mr. Mason had an extraordinary voice, it seemed to me, and he could play a deceitful bad guy like nobody's business, such as in "North by Northwest".

He also played Dr. Watson to Christopher Plummer's Sherlock Holmes in "Murder By Decree".

Of course, his career was long and varied, and that he was a Cat Man makes him all the more attractive!
