I used to hate cats. I always thought they were feisty, aloof, and I'm allergic to them to boot. However, once a little furball entered my life for good, I'm oddly become one of those people with an irrational soft spot for cats. If you or someone you know owns a cat, then you'll probably get a kick out of this book. The illustrations are fantastic, truly capturing the oh-so-common yet still adorable positions and expressions of our feline friends. The rhetoric is also rather clever and compliments the illustrations marvelously. I read most of it at a Tattered Cover in Denver in just a few minutes. While it's a nice novelty item, I think the price is a little steep for it to be showing up on my coffee table anytime soon, but it'd be a great gift.
