Lockdown, With Cats is a book of artwork created by Yeju Kwon with
the hope of comforting contemporary people who deal with stress and
anxiety. The theme of this book is centred around living in
lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic and it aims to depict the
tone of current daily life that we are all experiencing. Yeju aims
to portray feelings of safety and peace in her drawings and she
hopes that the use of cats in her drawings will make it easier for
the reader to resonate with these feelings.

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!

A cat's-eye view of history! Discover secrets, stories and facts
about history’s most fascinating felines! Young historians may

to - finally! - set the record straight and uncover the key role
that cats have played in shaping the course of history. Did you

of the World (According to Cats!) introduces us to fur-raising
facts and adventures from around the world and across the

that travelled in space (and made it back to Earth to tell the
tale), this book places cats as the heroes of their own stories.
Full of real-life stories, with all the boring stuff left out, this
book takes a look at the world's history through feline eyes.

Cats Work Like This is for cat lovers who know that even after ten
thousand years of living with cats, no one really has a clue what
their cat is thinking. In this insider's guide to the habits of
these puzzling animals, the authors offer insights from two
generations of watching their cats work. They share the sometimes
hilarious and often astonishing observations on cats that have
accumulated over ages, and offer some useful insights into how to
understand your own cat. Though there are many famous felines, it
is the day to day cat which provides the most enduring interest.
Though each one's behaviour and mannerisms are unique, we can find
enough practices in common to guide you to becoming an expert in
how cats work. Chapters include Habits, with an insight into how
cats train you to have the right ones; and The Scientific Cat, with
observations and empirical learning following the classic
scientific method, as cats don't listen well enough to be subjects
in any other kind of experimentation. Learn how cats practice their
values and explore what your cats know about you. Find out what
cats do while you sleep, what a cat's eyes can tell you and what
there is to understand about political and 'eco' cats. With a focus
on attention, emotion, cute affection, manipulation, cunning and
cussedness, Cats Work Like This gives a rare insight into the
workings of a cat's elusive mind.
For centuries, cats have been worshipped, adored and mistrusted in
equal measure. This beautiful gift book contains a selection of
essays, stories, and poems on cats by writers from across the ages.
In these pages, writers reflect on the curious feline qualities
that inspire such devotion in their owners, even when it seems
one-sided. Cats' affections are hard-won and often fickle. Freud
considered his cat an embodiment of true egoism; Hilaire Belloc
found peace in his feline companion's complacency; and Hemingway-a
famous cat-lover-wrote of drinking with his eleven cats and the
pleasant distraction they gave him. Edward Gorey can't turn down a
stray despite the trouble they cause him, and admits he has no idea
what they're thinking about; Muriel Spark gives practical advice on
how to teach a cat to play ping-pong; Nikola Tesla, who helped
design the modern electricity supply system, describes a seminal
experience with a cat that first sparked his fascination with
electricity; and Caitlin Moran considers the unexpected feelings of
loss after the death of her family cat. These writers, and many
others (including Mary Gaitskill, Alice Walker, Ursula K. Le Guin,
John Keats, James Bowen, Lynne Truss, and more), paint a joyful
portrait of cats and their mysterious and loveable ways. As
Hemingway wrote, "one cat leads to another." The book features six
black-and-white cat portraits by photographer Elliot Ross.
