This was a pretty neat book. It combined quotes about cats with pictures, drawings, and paintings of cats. It wasn’t just house cats, there were a few wild cats in there to. But I think the neatest part of this book is that it was a collaboration. Artists submitted their artwork for consideration and some of the submissions were used in the book. Then in the back of the book you can find a biography for each artist and photographer. What a great way to get some exposure for these artists.
Some of the pictures and paintings were amazingly beautiful, some were cute, some were humorous, but all of them were well done. I have my favorites out of all of them, but there weren’t any pictures that I didn’t like. I also liked the quotes used in the book. There was a wide range of quotes too" funny, thoughtful, insightful.
I read through this in about 45 minuets cover to cover. But I left it sitting on my desk and I keep finding myself picking it up and looking through the pictures. A new one sticks out at me each time I look through it. While you can read it cover to cover I actually think this would make a nice coffee table style book. Something that you can pick up, read a few quotes, look at a few pictures, and then come back to it later. Either way you choose to read it, if you’re a cat lover you’ll be happy with it.
