    Mark Twain loved animals, especially cats. When he was a yourng boy living in Hannibal, Missouri, his family shared their home with nineteen cats at one time! As an adult, Mark Twain always had a couple of pet cats living with im, and he wrote about cats in many of his stories.

    Mark Twain gave his pets some very strange names!
    For example, he had dogs named "I Know," "You Know," and "Don't Know."
