The Quotable Feline

45 cats, young and old, smiling and morose, affectionate and aloof. Each is accompanied by an apt quotation ("Dogs come when they're called. Cats takes a message and get back to you.") drawn from a variety of the most articulate celebrators of the cat, including Chekhov and Colette, Hemingway and Jules Verne, Leonardo da Vinci ("The smallest feline is a masterpiece.") and Jim Davis of Garfield fame.

A cat along by the telephone, a cat eyeing a goldfish, a cat returning the love of a person, an intrepid explorer kitten—image after image, printed in glowing sepia tones on ivory paper, demonstrates the special grace and intuition that Dratfield and Coughlin bring to the photography of animals.

This beautiful cat book is sure to be the perfect holiday treat for your favorite cat lover.
