HP Lovecraft wrote a story once

Odradek

In which a man goes to space, and then flies back home by enveloping himself in a bunch of space cats and flying back in his furry protective suit of cats.

i'm surprised no anime director has tried to adapt this

Is that Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath?

Lovecraft loved cats almost as much as he hated black people

Obā-san

he had a cat named nigger-man who had a cameo in one of his short stories

Rats in the Walls is a very Poe-like story.

"The Rats in the Walls" might be my favourite Lovecraft story despite that detail. It is way, way more unsettling than a lot of his later work, perhaps because the writing feels more natural and the details accumulate more effectively.
