Book Description
Cats takes on an almost three-dimensional form to present moments "stolen" by expert photographers from the everyday lives of these beloved animals. Sinuous and agile, playful, intelligent, and pitiless, cats of all stripes come alive in these splendid color photographs. Here we see cats as we think we know them, but there are plenty of surprises as well. Accompanied by the writings of leading zoologists and journalists, these images remind us that our cuddly companions have not lost all the instincts of their cousins in the wild, namely lions, tigers, and leopards. This book is a pleasure to leaf through and a reward to study. Its creative photographic portrayal of cats will fascinate readers of all ages, while young readers will especially enjoy the feel of the book's "cube format," chock-full of images that they will treasure for years to come.
