What tale would your cat tell? What secrets would your cat disclose
about you? What stories would your cat share with the world? From
around the world and across the ages cats now speak, tell the
history of the world-and the human condition-from the perspective
of meticulous feline observers. Andy Warhol, in the 1950s, created
a series of cat illustrations that were subsequently published as
25 Cats Named Sam and One Blue Pussy. In occasional conversations
over the years, speculating what a cat would say about his or her
human companion was a theme in which he indulged: "Someone should
rescue those poor cats from Edward Gorey's home," or "Imagine what
Truman Capote's cat has seen over the years." Decades later,
Mexican artist Jose Luis Loria embarked on an endeavor to create
masterful illustrations of cats. Inspired by Warhol and Loria the
tales assembled in this book link cats-and their human
companions-on a journey, a journey where the private thoughts deep
