1. I simply cannot keep this pretty volume on my shelf, so lovely are its pages! Adorned throughout with wonderful stories, illustrations, poetry, and photographs- all paying great homage to one of this life's great treasures: Cats - it's indeed a book that's too much an absolute delight for one to help but turn to again and again and again.
   
   Only this morning, long before the sun rose- raving with insomnia, I got up & made a hot cup of tea, fluffed the cushions on the wingback chair by my window, cuddled up with my fat, fluffy cat, Armand, and found myself browsing oncemore through this book --- delving into such chapters as "Cats by Night", "Cats at Sea", "Cats in High Places", and "Church Cats". Armand purred, and nudged my hand with his flat face each time I paused whilst stroking his soft fur. He simply cannot abide having less than my wholehearted attention. Ah, but just how such moments can soothe an old soul is far beyond my own power to describe!
   
   Eloquently, Algernon Swinburne's poem on page 27 grasps that feeling:
   
   "Stately, kindly, lordly friend,
   Condescend
   Here to sit by me, and turn
   Glorious eyes that smile and burn,
   Golden eyes, love's lustrous mead,
   On the golden page I read."
   
   Truly, not unlike any of my beloved feline family members, this is a warm, aesthetic pleasure to keep somewhere nearby me while in my sanctuary~



2. What a great cat book! Features 99 cat lives, terrific color photos, paintings, and drawings, and fine commentary. Features practically every conceivable (domestic) cat throught the ages, and will provide fun, entertainment, and education for years to come!



3. This is a great book for cats lovers. It's beautifully illustrated and got lots of interesting information.



4. I have many, many books in my "cat collection" and this is one of the most beautiful. Not only is the color of the art georgeous, but the essays are thoughtful and informative. This is the one I drag out most often to show off.

2 comments about Cat: Wild Cats.

1. I bought this book in amsterdam, and even in dutch it was vastly amusing. Now I am buying it in english for my mom. It's interesting to see how such varied artistic styles have represented the cat. Whimsical titles for each section make it even more amusing. Kids might also enjoy reading about the "wild cats", "solitary cats", etc.



2. CAT: Wild Cats and Pampered Pets is another art book in a series prepared by the inventive Ivy Press in England that takes a seemingly simple subject to further enhance our knowledge about the visual arts. What cat lover could pass this little celebratory tome by? Using images of cats - from every form of our current concept of house pet to the most obtuse precursor and wild counterpart - this book provides paintings, drawings, sculptures of cats that juxtapose famous historical depictions by Klimt, Rubens, Fragonard, Bosch, Rembrandt along side works by contemporary artists both famous and emerging. CAT is not only a charming homage to a favorite creature but also a joyful introduction to art history and contemporary representational paintings of the highest order.

   A coffee table book? Yes...it richly enhances the decor of your living space. But it is also small enough in format to tuck away for those idle hours away from home. This beautiful, thoughtful, informative little tome is a perfect gift for art lovers .... and young people who you'd like to become art appreciators!

2 comments about Honorable Cat.

1. This book is packed with beautiful kitty photographs and poetry. It is configured with a photo on one page and a poem (based on the photo)on the opposite page. The beginning of the book takes a unique look at the cat from a respectful and appreciative perspective. The authors writing style tends to be "old english" (compared to what I'm used to) But it quickly grows on you. I've read and re-read the book many times...In fact, I find the words drifting into my mind when riding the bus or trolley..It's truly a special book for the cat lover. A+++



2. Honorable Cat is my "most favorite" cat book. The poetry is unique, the photographs are terrific... this book is so SPECIAL it's hard to sum up in a few words. I try to keep one on hand at all times to use as a special gift. It makes a wonderful coffee table book. My favorite poems include "The Dandelion" and an absolutely priceless ballad about "Tough Tom, the King of the Car Park." I tell you the truth, you can't buy this book fast enough.
