1 comments about The Secret Life of Cats (Globe Mini Mag).

1. I bought this little book before a long road trip, and was pleasantly surprised to find it quite entertaining as well as informative.
   
   It covers topics ranging from the cat social ladder (actually, it's a circle..), to the reason why cats are attracted to cat-hating-people, to the mysteries of "cat space!"
   
   All in all, a fun little read. I gave it to my friend as a host gift, and he enjoyed it as well.
   
   And I don't even like cats!

5 comments about Why Paint Cats 2004 Calendar.

1. This calendar is wonderful for any cat or art lover. The photography and commentary are both first rate, mimicking and mocking the pretentiousness of the contemporary art scene without losing the sense of whimsy that has been the hallmark of the series since the book of the same title was first published.

   Some people seem aghast that people actually paint cats. Well don't. This is a joke. The visual effects are done courtesy of Photoshop long after the photos have been taken. The creators, Burton Silver and Heather Busch, are quite devoted bona fide animal lovers, and although I am sure they would be flattered that some people thought the effects are real, would never allow harm to come to these beautiful animals.

   This is a beautifully done calendar, and is perfect for the art lover in your life. I look forward to the 2005 "Why Paint Cats" calendar. I have no doubt it will be as spectacular as this!




2. This is hilarious. The artwork is spectaular. The comentary is absoutely typical of art comentary, which is also totaly hilarious. The entire work continues seamlessly and effectively creating a whole different interpretation of the art/reality boundary. Obviously a work of love which must have taken a great deal of effort to produce. Clearly many gulible, non-critical thinkers will not "get it" and their outraged reaction reinforces the entire theme. They only make the whole experience richer. If you are outraged by these pictures, post your comments here so the whole world can laugh at you.



3. I bought a copy of the book this calendar is based on for myself and a copy for a friend. I'm not going to give the copy to my friend and I don't really know what to do with the one I have. It's not because I'm offended at the idea of people painting cats if it's humanely done. I just feel ripped off. I bought the book because it was quirky and pretty. While the pictures are still lovely, apparently they're all done in photoshop. There is no disclaimer on the book anywhere, and while I'm sort of glad that people aren't really painting cats, (though apparently the book is inspiring people to paint cats because a lot of people don't realise it's a hoax) I can mock up pictures of painted cats in photoshop all on my own. This book isn't an oddity of human nature, it's a fraud that doesn't have the decency to let you know that. You have to first buy it and then figure it out for yourself. I want my money back.



4. Actually the cats WERE painted -- with vegetable dyes. If you read the text the author writes about, for example, how the whiskers on the cat are stimulated in such a way as to anesthetize them prior to painting. The author also states that painting does not harm the cats and that many of them rather enjoy the process. I love cats and really enjoyed this book.



5. The cats aren't physically painted... it's their photos that have been decorated, not their bodies. The author has done extensive research on animal intelligence and works closely with animal rights groups. The cats were not harmed in the making of this calendar or the book by the same name. Try actually doing some research before jumping to conclusions!
