CATS CATS AND MORE CATS! (hb)2009

This photographic tribute to our feline friends provides a uniquely intimate appreciation of cats by depicting them au naturel, going about their day in domestic comfort or exploring the wild, blinking and snoozing in the sun, batting at toys, curled up in an armchair, play-fighting with siblings, dangling from ledges, perching and pouncing, and purring with pleasure Artfully shot by an acclaimed photographer in sensual, rustic settings, these images of many breeds manage to achieve something remarkable by capturing the very essence of feline nature With a poetic, insightful text and chapters devoted to adorable little kittens along with close-ups of the most mysterious of all beastly aspects, the cat’s eye, this special volume practically crackles with the sounds of our contented whiskered companions—and their human admirers Author: Angela Scipioni is a writer and translator who loves to observe the behavior of cats at her country house in Liguria, Italy Her work has appeared in Case & Country, Io Donna, Campagne Décoration, and Itinerari Speciali di Bell’Italia Adriano Bacchella is a photographer and journalist and the author of several books, including Cats and Dogs She contributes to several lifestyle magazines, among them Elle Décor, Case & Country, Spazio Casa, VilleGiardini, Io Donna, Coté Sud, Ville & Casali, Itinerari eno-gastronomici, and Vie del Gusto
