Great coffee table book

The pictures are the main attraction of the book, but Karen Anderson's commentary throughout is entertaining and embodies the cat lover's feelings about felines. And the arrangement of the pictures into the categories of kittens, country cats, suburban cats, and city cats is noteworthy.This is a book for cat lovers to look through leisurely, enjoy the pictures...the commentary is well spaced and rather like words from a friend who's also a cat lover. And of course, this sure would be a welcome gift to a cat lover.

Kitten sized...

I was surprised when I received this book due to its small size. I guess I just kind of skimmed over all the flags of the "Half pint" book series etc. I had just seen the full size book at...and found this one under the same name and at a good price. I find that the price is due to its small reprinted size, the book is less than 1/2 the size of the original....This still has some nice pictures of cats and kittens doing what cats and kittens do but get your magnifying glass out for the detail.

a real find!

As "cat people" we are intrigued by the many-faceted feline, both "in the fur" and in pictures, so this photographic essay with contributions from thirty-six photographers celebrating the special world and style of the cat is a real find. The full color photographs are magnificent and the text by Karen Anderson, author of 'Cats Have No Masters...Just Friends', with her warm and often witty observations on the situations and attitudes of cats make this book a treasure among photographic treatises. The "short journey from kittenhood . . . to cat" is beautifully portrayed in both the chapter on the antics of kittens and one entitled "Portraits" which concentrates on the face of the cat with emphasis on their many expressions and their hypnotic eyes. Three other sections allow us to see and enjoy the cat in various situations: "Country Cats/Land of Opportunity," "Suburban Cats/Best of Both Worlds," and "City Cats/The Prince and the Pauper." reviewed by Sharon Senn, Proprietor of The Collectable Cat (Kent, WA)
