Loved it

For the collector of well-written, beautifully-bound, hard-cover books, this is a gem. I recommend that, after reading it, you place it on your nicest bookshelf.

Outstanding!

This charming, beautifully compiled collection of cat poetry spanning centuries is a delightful read. A true celebration of the mysterious feline!

The Perfect Gift for Cat Owners!

This wonderful volume immediately found a prominent place on my mantel, not only for its beautiful cover artwork, but for its uplifting, whimsical and "relate-able" content. Each day I lift it from its spot and choose a diffent poem to read aloud. With my two cats sitting at my feet, they each listen intently as I read - seemingly knowing that I am reading to them, about them and for them. Each piece makes me smile knowingly, laugh, (or sometimes sigh sadly), as vivid images of cats in all their unique and fascinating aspects come alive. It is truly a wonderful book for anyone who has ever loved or lived with cats!
