As I may have mentioned in some previous reviews, in my youth I had cats. I loved their independence, and they fit my lifestyle as I was learning my own way in the world.
This book is a beautiful introduction to cats in a gloriously illustrated way. For anyone who is looking to learn about cats, every corner of the book offers an opportunity to teach. With cute pictorials, information paragraphs that tell anyone everything you would ever want to know about kitten “caboodle” this truly is the book readers will want to add to their personal library.
There is also a page on the zodiac of cats with suggested “cat” names. Interestingly enough, the picture showcased for my birth month of the zodiac, Sagittarius, featured a black and white cat, which was my first cat when I moved out on my own, Patches. How did this book know?
The book also shares feline folklore, fun stories on catnaps, ways to please a cat, when a kitty goes on the prowl, kitty moods, famous cats that have been memorialized in books and music; and, so much more.
For the love of cats, this will be a book that all cat lovers will want in their book collection! Especially since it has cut-out pages that open within. Like peek-a-boo moments with information behind the cut-outs. Children will especially love learning about cats in this way!

This is a great gift book for cat lovers. I want to call it a sort of pop-up book for adults, but there aren't any pop-up pieces to this book. There are movable pieces that add to the fun. The book is full of facts, fancy, and cat-centric illustrations.
