Bookshop Cats: A Beautifully Illustrated Photography Book of Cozy Bookstore Moggies
A celebration of international book-loving cats.
Bookshop Cats is a beautiful photographic collection of cats who have made the wise decision to live in bookshops across the world.
In these pages you will find moggies curled up amongst the memoirs, tabbies atop the shelves of the travel section, and kittens who can sniff out the next international bestsellers.
Head to Blue Cypress Books in New Orleans, Louisiana, where you’ll find Kitty Meow, who starts her day by basking in a sunbeam in the romance section. Meet Bea, the stray Moggy who now calls Shrew Books in Cornwall home, and Hugo, the most photographed cat in Southern Alberta, Canada.
This charming collection is a celebration of literature-loving cats, their doting colleagues and the havens they create together.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Bookshop Cats by Daphne du Meowier (see what they did there?) is, as the back cover states, "A love letter to bookshops, cats and the havens they create together".
This book travels across continents to highlight the delightful bookshops where cats deign to reign. Lovingly photographed and described, these cats do create havens for their customers. I was inspired to investigate opportunities to visit some of these shops to meet these famous furry residents.

Bookshop Cats by Daphne du Meowier (yes, I smiled at the name too) is described as “a love letter to bookshops, cats, and the havens they create together.”
This book travels across continents, highlighting bookshops where cats basically run the place. The photos and stories are so well done, and you can feel how much these spaces mean, not just to the cats, but to the people who walk through the doors.
It made me want to go. Like immediately start planning trips just to meet these tiny, furry shopkeepers.
