Joachim Boaz, creator of Science Fiction and Other Suspect Ruminations: Reviews of Vintage Science Fiction (1945-1985), shows his cat Margo beside an influential work of early science fiction scholarship, Modern Science Fiction: Its Meaning and Its Future edited by Reginald Bretnor (1953). And Margo seems to be gazing into her own future.

i love sf ruminations
She’s a great cat! Thanks for posting my photo.
A beautiful and scholarly cat!
One of the great thinkers, I mean, meowers of our time! And so beautiful!
She’s just waiting for you to open the book, everyone knows cats absorb text knowledge through the thin fur on their tummies!
