In a series of letters to pen pal and art collector Elizabeth Stein, sculptor Beatrice Wood (1893–1998) often shared daily anecdotes of her cats’ antics, observing that cats “are of course just human beings with four legs instead of just two.” During this time, Stein was in her nineties and Wood was more than one hundred years old. Through their correspondence, both women relished the daily pleasures of life.
