Sinuous and agile, aloof and intelligent, playful and affectionate, cats fascinate and confound humans with their countless contradictions. More than 500 splendid color photographs bring to life the many moods and faces of our favorite felines in this satisfyingly hefty volume. From the rough-and-tumble charm of a litter of fuzzy tabby kittens to the icy-blue-eyed stare of an elegant Siamese, from pampered house cats to half-wild outdoor cats, from the humble domestic shorthair to pedigreed Persians, the images in this book reveal cats in their full-furry glory. Through the lens of Valeria Manferto, everyday moments in the lives of cats become extraordinary as she captures them luxuriating in the warmth of the sun, in solitary meditation, and grooming their young. Accompanied by fascinating feline lore, these images remind us that our cuddly companions have not lost the instincts of their cousins in the wild, and that the calico cozily curled up on the couch is just a pounce away from becoming a fierce hunter!

Very Cute !,

This review is from: Cats (CubeBook) (Hardcover)
This is one of the best cat books I have ever seen. It has tons of adorable bright colored pictures of all different kinds of cats and kittens . My daughter is 8 and she is a cat lover like me and we both enjoyed this book. I know we will look at it over and over again. It is a perfect size cube so it is not bulky and doesn't take up alot of space. I give this book 5 stars !

Love the Cube Books!,

This review is from: Cats (CubeBook) (Hardcover)
I have seven of the Cube Books and love everyone of them. Sometimes I do chuckle at the information in them when it isn't quite real, but the intent is good and the photographs awesome!

A Superb Album Containing Numerous Cat Photographs,
By
This review is from: Cats (Hardcover)
If you want a collection of hundreds upon hundreds of photos of cats, and that with captions that are not verbose, this book is for you. The photos come from many sources, and a list of the photo-credit acknowledgements is provided at the end of the book.
Many different breeds are featured, and cats are shown in many different situations. Cat acrobatics are included. Cats are shown interacting with other animals, such as squirrels, rabbits, and pigs. Photos of wild cats are included. One of them has just decapitated a snake! Ugh...but that's nature.
