Reviews
“Only an accomplished poet could wind her way as gracefully and surefootedly around and through perfectly chosen words and phrases as Tiller does… and only a chronic ailurophile could portray the elusive, often mysterious feline personality with such affection as Seeley.” ―Publishers Weekly
“Colorful imagery lovingly evokes the characteristics and traits of the different cats, and soft, detailed paintings capture their dignity, humor, and mysticism.” ―School Library Journal
“This wonderful book serves as a tribute both to cats, and to the people who take them in and care for them.” ―Through the Looking Glass
