From funny cats to fat cats; from cool cats to cats in love; from cats in the city to cats in Hollywood, Suarès’s tributes to cats of every kind have been adored by all. The Big Book of Cats is a compendium featuring the best from Suarès’s series of cat books. It’s a 384-page tome with more than 230 images (printed in duotone) taken by a wide range of cat-loving photographers, including Thomas Wester, Terry deRoy Gruber, Robin Schwartz, Kritina Lee Knief, Donna Ruskin, David McEnery, Karl Baden, and Claudia Gorman. Accompanying the images are excerpts—from such diverse writers as Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Mark Twain; personal stories and anecdotes from cat owners and others; and whimsical cat drawings by J.C. himself.
