"Cats" was created by the composer Andrew Lloyd Weber, but it was based upon T.S. Elliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
T.S. Eliot wrote "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" in the 1930's. It was a collection of poems about cats -- how cats think, what cats do, how cats feel, etc. basically Cat Psychology. In 1981, Andrew Lloye Weber created the musical "CATS" which was based on this collection of poems.
The musical "CATS" was inspired by T. S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats".
Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot is a wonderful book of whimsical poetry about different cats and how they relate to personalities of people. The Broadway musical "Cats" was based on this book.
