"Catnip for the Camera - As they travel the world, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC photographers encounter cats that slink, saunter, or spring into the camera's frame. Irresistibly attractive to the lens, these felines manage on every page of this colorful celebration to delight and surprise us, showing just how beguiling they can be.
"Here are far-flung city cats adding their special visual note to the cityscapes of Paris, Miami, Venice, and Tokyo, along with their country cousins on the international prowl from Colorado to the Czech Republic - captured in wonderfully composed images evoking their inscrutable mystery and affectionate familiarity."
