In a literary career of almost 50 years, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852 - 1930) wrote 15 collections of short stories, 16 novels, one play, and eight volumes of prose and poetry for children. Her most memorable writing occurs in the genre of short fiction. The short story The Cat is about an old man and a cat who share a dwelling and keep each other company through a long cold winter.

Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman (October 31, 1852¿March 13, 1930) was a prominent 19th century American author. Up until recently she was known primarily as a "feminist" writer, for her classic stories like "A New England Nun" and "The Revolt of Mother". However, she also wrote many well-crafted supernatural stories which have only recently begun to attract appreciative critical attention. These stories combine pragmatism and supernaturalism and are very much in the tradition of an "Americanized" Gothic.
