Customer Reviews

L.A. Johnson for Midwest Book Review

Ms. Weinstein is a woman blessed with many gifts. Several of these gifts are skillfully applied in Cat Book. Her monoprints in oils capture the essence of each feline featured, and the accompanying prose clearly reveals this author's passion. The artwork is pleasing to the eye, and each story pairing cat and human is either humorous, heart warming, or touching. Ms. Weinstein's insights into taming feral felines, cat behavior, and maintaining optimum health are priceless. If you count a cat lover among your family or friends, or if you are a cat lover yourself, Cat Book would be an ideal gift for any reason or season.I highly recommend it.

Review by Martina BexteI from BookLoons

I this small compact volume called simply Cat Book, artist Emily Eve Weinstein has created an enchanting and beautiful compilation of paintings and real life stories of our feline friends. With pictures and heartfelt sentences, she introduces us to over fifty kitties. Weinstein's creations are awash with colour and life and often make you smile. Some of her pieces look almost avant garde and a few resemble puzzles but the cat hidden away in the bold brush strokes makes his or her presence known eventually. The accompanying narratives and anecdotes only make this slim volume that much more enjoyable. Ms. Weinstein is a firm supporter of animal shelters, rescue agencies and welfare groups and some of these agencies are using her book as a fund raiser. The last few pages also discuss Neuter/Spaying programs, alternative pet care and other valuable information for pet lovers. Cat Book is a must read, whether you're a cat lover or not...

Enthusiastically recommended reading for cat lovers

Written and illustrated by Emily Eve Weinstein, Cat Book is both a unique original art collection and a memoir/celebration of beloved feline friends. Weinstein's vividly crafted, full color monographs deftly capture the fur, love, and kinship of a variety of different four-legged hunters, and her words tell the unique life story of each animal, whom she got to know. Cat Book is enthusiastically recommended reading for cat lovers!

Cat Book Speaks to the Heart

Cat Book by Emily Eve Weinstein has that magical blend of words and pictures that are not only easy to read and view, but speak to the heart. She dedicates her book to animal activists everywhere and the stories of both cats and their people, highlight what is good and loving and hopeful for cats (and people) who have "beat the odds" to end up where they are now. Especially important is the emphasis given to the needs of feral cats and how caring people have helped all over the country. You will smile at the stories of the mischevious ones, cry for the ones saved and laugh at the antics of the wiley ones. The beautiful monoprints give the cats you meet character all their own. Buy one for yourself and several as gifts!

The Cat's Meow

Emily Weinstein's "Cat Book" is a delight for cat lovers and even those who are indifferent to the feline world. Her artwork is superb, and leaves us wondering how she can capture with paint the images of these active and often uncooperative models, each one with a personality of its own.
