What Cats Are

By Sharon Beals

Book Overview

With the same wit and captivating photography that made What Dogs Do such a success, Sharon Beals now turns her attention to cats. In these thirty playful images and one-word captions, Beals captures the essence of feline existence -- from "dedicated" (an industrious Burmese chomping a cardboard box) to "adventurous" (two kitties plumbing the depths of a full refrigerator) to "dangerous" (a slinky black beauty extending fierce-looking claws) -- making this a perfect and affordable gift or keepsake for any cat lover. Called "shamelessly charming" by American Photo, Beals's work will also entice any photography enthusiast with a soft spot for the small and furry.

Good but Kittens is Better

This small photo/quote book is cute, but "What Kittens Are" is better. If you can only get one get the Kittens.

A Wonderful Book

I must admit to some prejudice about this book in that my two cats -- Fluffy and Tuffy -- appear in it. Fluffy is the "comfortable" cat; Tuffy is "possessed". Fluffy recently died, and it gives me great comfort to know that his memory lives on in this very sweet book. If you love cats, you'll enjoy this book quite a bit.

Superb!

What a brilliant way to present one's affection for such a loveable and graceful animal! The pictures seem to bring out what all cat lovers truly see in their pets. This author expresses my sentiments exactly!
