Book Description

March 28, 2002
On the heels of her engaging and inventive Dogtionary comes photographer Sharon Montrose's discerning demystification of the other side of the pet world. This humorous and affectionate photographic essay features cats of various breeds and personalities, captured with all the idiosyncrasies their human owners have come to know and love. Cationary is filled with more than ninety images that are alphabetized by each cat's name, from A to Z, in a unique format that juxtaposes them with their dictionary-style "kitty definitions"-captions as evocative, mischievous, and telling as the pictures they accompany.

Whether it's feisty Billy (who hisses, growls, and scratches), or Parker, the complacent Cheshire Cat-type (who does a little eating, a little playing, and a great deal of sleeping), feline fanciers will recognize their own pets among these charming creatures. For them, Cationary is a gift as heady as catnip-elegant, heartwarming, and beautifully photographed.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a HAPPY, LITTLE BOOK!, April 8, 2002
By 
Susan J DuBose (Austin, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cationary: Meaningful Portraits of Cats (Hardcover)
I have to repeat it, WHAT A HAPPY LITTLE BOOK! Being in the animal care field (I work at a non-profit, privately funded shelter) not only do I collect books on animals, of course, I see a lot of sad situations everyday in my field. When this book arrived from Amazon (prompt as usual), after a hard day at the shelter, I was immediately overjoyed by the beauty of it and it helped me realize "Yes, this is why I do what I do, because people care"! The photography is excellent, sort of a photojournalistic point of view and the style of printing is in a soft, sepia tone. The captions for each photograph are right on target. Now to order her book on dogs....

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book, April 7, 2002
By 
Brenda D. Manfredi (West Jefferson, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cationary: Meaningful Portraits of Cats (Hardcover)
All I could think about while I was looking through this beautiful book was how much I wished I could contract Ms. Montrose to take portraits of my cats. How thrilled the guardians of these cats must feel to have these gorgeous portraits of their cat companions.

I work for a publishing company so the typesetting did not escape my notice, either. Called "CatLover" it was designed by the author as per the cip page, and is so hip and quirky and appropriate. Impressive.

The format of the book is a photograph or photographs of a cat, it's name which falls into alphabetical order like Webster's on a much smaller scale, and then captioned by three definitions of the accompanied cat. My favorite is Gracie because that is the name of one of my own cat companions.

When you buy this book, get two. One for yourself and one for another cat lover in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cat Lovers Delight, April 19, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Cationary: Meaningful Portraits of Cats (Hardcover)
"Cationary" is beautiful, amusing, knowing - just like the photographer's "Dogtionary." Sharon Montrose really has done it again. You know the old saying, "Dogs have masters; cats have staff." Indeed. Cats are vain; they're haughty; they don't suffer fools at all, let alone gladly. Then turn around, and they're loving, and graceful, and endlessly inventive. They're all here in this delightful book, in all their warm, exasperating, funny, fussy, glamorous glory.
