This chapter examines what it would mean to take the ethical implications of human–cat relationships seriously in the practice of writing and knowledge production – or cat-writing. The chapter joins Donna Haraway’s feminist thinking and selected discussions of animal ethics together with creative writing, namely, poetry. I argue that cat-writing may invite ethical imaginations for the acknowledgement of the suffering of others, making it potentially a pedagogical practice in ecojustice education.
