A must-have for any cat lover!!!

If you know a cat lover (or are one yourself, like me) then this unique book is just what you've been looking for. The photographs are just stunning. I don't know what this author does to get the photographs she does, but the pictures are just gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I can never get my cat to look at the camera like this! The patience it must take to get really wonderful pictures is very apparent in this book and you'd be hard-pressed to pick just one favorite photo. Beyond the photos, though, the writing really sets this book apart from any other cat book I've found. Usually you have one or the other: incredible photos or observations on cat behavior and fun facts. This is a beautiful combination of both that is very entertaining. There are so many interesting things that I never knew about kitties before reading this book. I definitely know the gift the cat lovers in my life are getting this Christmas!
