Two standout articles feature real-life obsessives of ages past who reveal todays Caturnet devotees-with their GIFs and Tumblrs and hastily aggregated listicles-for what they truly are: amateurs. . . . Eat your heart out, Cute Overload.-The New York Times Book ReviewA beautiful hardcover.-Jenny McCarthy, PeopleThis irresistible anthology of articles, poems, essays, fiction, cartoons, and covers pulled from the New Yorker is a veritable treasure trove for cat lovers. Just dive right in; with stories from the likes of John Updike, Maeve Brennan, Roald Dalhl, and Haruki Murakami interwoven with hilariously wry cartoons, one cant help but be enthralled. A must-have.-Modern CatA shiny, well-fed tome . . . The anthology embodies the cats defining characteristic: its cluster of opposites, rolled together into a giant hairball of cultural attitudes-something, perhaps, at once uncomfortably and assuringly reflective of our own chronically conflicted selves.-Brain PickingsThis gorgeous book has earned a permanent spot on my coffee table. It is an absolute joy to read and browse through, and I know it will bring me hours and hours of pleasure for years to come. And it makes a purr-fect gift for the special cat lovers in your life.-The Conscious Cat[A] sumptuous volume.-The Dallas Morning News
