5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you always wanted to know about cats!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2011

This is such a fun book. There are great quotations about cats from people in all walks of life. Some are so funny I find myself laughing out loud. There is interesting information about cats, I learn something new with each turn of the page. For example, a cat bowl should be wide enough that the cat's whiskers don't touch the side of the bowl while eating. It can be very distressing for them. I like the pictures, I like the stories, I like the presentation and format of the book. A great book I highly recommend for all cat lovers everywhere.

Some interesting facts. Mostly a conglomerate of different things, no topic was deeply covered. Wish they had included the Art in the Cats in Art section but no. Still was fine for the sale price.

Some of the items were interesting and some were boring. The pictures of the various cats are cute. I didn't read it straight through. I read a few pages at a time in between other books.

Being a dyed-in-the-wool cat lover, I found this book delightfully full of fascinating facts and entertaining anecdotes and some of the most charming photographs. But what's not to love?
