When long-term cat owner and Dutch photographer Marcel Heijnen
moved to Hong Kong, he was delighted to find that many of his
neighbours were of the feline variety. It was only natural for him
to make friends with the local shop cats and their owners, taking
photos as he went. And this book is the charming result. Against a
background of Hong Kong's bustling dried goods trade, dusty shelves
groaning with traditional products, the beloved cats either stand
out as shop mascots or magically melt away behind boxes and jars.
Meanwhile, their innermost thoughts, delivered deadpan, are
revealed through Ian Row's intuitive haiku and stories. With 90
illustrations in colour
Replete with new photographs and new information, this update of

discussion of the maine Coon Cat from the tufts on his ears right
down to his feathered toes. Her lively discussion of the origins of
the Maine Coon, along with anecdotes from owners and a gallery of
photos, accompanies in-depth information on breed standards,
showing Maine Coons, health issues, breeding, general care, and cat
psychology.
Long gone are the good old days when a cat's biggest worries were
mean dogs or a bath. Modern cats must confront satanists, online
predators, the possibility of needing to survive in a
post-apocalyptic wasteland, and countless other threats to their
nine lives. For over four decades, the American Association of
Patriots have stood at the vanguard of our country's defense by
helping to prepare our nation's cat owners for the difficult
conversations they dread having with their pets. Written in a
simple Q&A format, HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CAT ABOUT GUN SAFETY
answers crucial questions such as, 'What is the right age to talk
to my cat about the proper use of firearms?' and 'What are the
benefits of my cat living a lifestyle of abstinence?' and
especially 'Why does my cat need to use the internet? Can't he just
play with yarn like cats used to do?' America - and our cats -
stand at a precipice. It will take courage, and it will take hard
work, but armed with the knowledge within these pages, we can make
our cats - and America - great again!

your own life - at work, at home and with your friends. Unplug your

The Unadulterated Cat is becoming an endangered species as more and more of us settle for those boring mass-produced cats the ad-men sell us - the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on the telly. But the Campaign for Real Cats sets out to change all that by helping us to recognize a true, unadulterated cat when we see one. For example: real cats have ears that look like they've been trimmed with pinking shears; real cats never wear flea collars, or appear on Christmas cards, or chase anything with a bell in it; real cats do eat quiche. And giblets. And butter. And anything else left on the table, if they think they can get away with it. Real cats can hear a fridge door opening two rooms away.
Jeoffry was a real cat who lived 250 years ago, confined to an
asylum with Christopher Smart, one of the most visionary poets of
the age. In exchange for love and companionship, Smart rewarded
Jeoffry with the greatest tribute to a feline ever written.
Prize-winning biographer Oliver Soden combines meticulous research
with passages of dazzling invention to recount the life of the cat
praised as 'a mixture of gravity and waggery'. The narrative roams
from the theatres and bordellos of Covent Garden to the cell where
Smart was imprisoned for mania. At once whimsical and profound,
witty and deeply moving, Soden's biography plays with the genre
like a cat with a toy. It tells the story of a poet and a poem,
while setting Jeoffry's life and adventures against the roaring
backdrop of eighteenth-century London.
**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** A hilarious collection of Hercule
Van Wolfwinkle's 'extremely realistic' pet portraits. Warning: may
not be suitable for anyone who actually likes animals or has the
ability to see. Not only does Hercule's unusual talent shine
through on every page, each portrait is captioned with a review
written by its bewildered recipient: "Tell ya what mate, why don't
you get back to me when you've drawn a picture of my actual dog"
"It gets worse and worse the more your eyes scan down the page.
Which is really quite the achievement given how bad her face looks"
"We really miss Marley. If I ever think I might be forgetting what
he looked like, I can gaze at your portrait and know it was nothing
like that."
