Customer Reviews

A Charming Book

This is a charming book, wonderfully witty and engaging text, beautiful drawings that capture the moods and inner life of every cat I've ever met. I'm planning to give it as Christmas presents to every cat-lover I know. Really a treat!

delightful and fresh

This book is very lively and endearing. The author is not literal, but imaginative and clever. The illustrations show the cat's extraordinarily graceful yet clean, simple gestures as she/he goes through it's ordinary day.

cat philosophy

A wonderful collection of thoughts and meditatations on the mystery of being as incarnated by the cat. Michaels' words take you from the simple pleasure of holding a cat to quotes from Chekov. Lerner's outline gesture drawings suggest the inner mystery of the cat.

Cat-egorically Terrific

This short book makes you feel like you have nine lives. From the beautiful minimalist drawings to the quiet eloquent words, it is a great and affordable gift. It appeals not only to cat lovers but to animal (and people) lovers everywhere. Every page brings a gentle and touching surprise.

enchanting illustrations

I have the hardback version and don't understand why that isn't available. Is there a way to find out if they were all sold out or if there are anymore to buy?? I'd love to buy a number as birthday and Christmas books to all the cat lovers I know and I'm sure a lot of people would love to see this book in hardcover. Please let me know if the hardcover can be located. It is the best cat book I have ever read and I'd love to know more about the illustrator.
