If you are a cat person, you know that cats celebrate Christmas. They marvel at Christmas trees, attack gift wrap, give presents (generally deceased rodents), receive presents, and eat too much. This holiday behavior was shrewdly documented by B. Kliban, the closest man to a cat anyone has ever encountered. In this small but robust volume, his dozens of Yuletide cat cartoons and paintings have been collected for a perfectly pleasing Christmastime diversion.
An added attraction: never-before-published cat lyrics adapted to well-known Christmas carols are included, researched and collected by Professor Winkie B. Earmites. "Hark the Hungry Kittens Sing," "We Wish You a Mousie Christmas" (attributed to Salmon D. Fishdie), and "Kittens We Have Heard on High" are just a few of the rousing standards included.
Bernard "Hap" Kliban was a popular American cartoonist. He became an instant cartoon sensation after the publication of his groundbreaking book Cat in 1975. Some forty years after their initial appearance, Kliban’s quirky, colorful cat illustrations are adored icons and cherished friends of fans worldwide. One of the top cartoonists of the 20th century, Kliban contributed work to national magazines for over 30 years.
