About: Foss (cat)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Foss (c. 1873 – 26 November 1887), formally named Aderphos, was the pet cat of Edward Lear, the 19th-century author, illustrator, and poet. A "stumpy-tailed," "portly," and "unattractive" tabby cat, he was a favourite of Lear's and played an important role as a companion in the poet's lonely later years. Foss is mentioned frequently in Lear's correspondence and appears in his illustrations and at least one poem. Foss is said to have been the inspiration for the pussycat in Lear's illustrations for his poem "The Owl and the Pussycat". The funeral that Lear provided for Foss, which included an epigraphed headstone, is said to have been more elaborate than Lear's own.

  • Foss (ca. 1873–November 1887), ehemals Aderphos, war die Hauskatze des britischen Malers und Schriftstellers Edward Lear. Obwohl der Autor sie als „Stummelschwänzchen“, „korpulent“ und „unattraktiv“ bezeichnete, war der Tabby-Kater sein liebstes Haustier und spielte eine wichtige Rolle als Gefährte des Dichters, insbesondere in seinen späteren Jahren. Foss wurde vielfach in seiner Korrespondenz erwähnt und war auch Teil seiner Illustrationen. Außerdem widmete ihm der Dichter mindestens ein Gedicht. Er soll auch Inspiration für sein Werk The Owl and the Pussycat gewesen sein. Sein Begräbnis, inklusive eines gravierten Grabsteins, soll Lear wesentlich spektakulärer ausgerichtet haben, als er es sich für sich wünschte. (de)
