The Big New Yorker Book of Cats is a treat for all of us
who have been charmed by our feline friends. We all know
that our cats can be meltingly affectionate or totally
disdainful and some very bright literary minds have written
about them, such as Margaret Atwood, James Thurber, John
Updike and many other stars of that world.

There are wonderful cartoons as well. The best, in my
opinion is a man scolding a cat and telling him to never,
ever. think outside the box.

Since I lost my China Cat in 2009, I have been prevented by
love of my grand daughter from sharing my life with a cat.
She is terribly allergic to cat dander. My extended family
has a weakness for cats. My grandmother had twenty and my
cousin still has fifteen. I am content with one or two.

This is a big book, almost coffee table size and would be
a wonderful gift for the cat lovers we know.
