Never before has the quirky nature of our favorite pet been portrayed so lovingly as in the twenty portraits created by Mies van Hout for this book. Whether you love cats or not, the depiction of typical cat moods such as annoyed, offended, content, and clumsy immediately captivates you and makes this book irresistible. Mies van Hout is not only a great cat lover, but she also has a keen eye for detail, allowing her to convincingly capture the emotions of animals on paper. Inspired by her own cat, she has depicted twenty cat emotions using vibrant oil pastels on black paper. Five well-known Dutch authors, Bette Westera, Hans and Monique Hagen, Koos Meinderts, and Sjoerd Kuyper, have crafted splendid cat poetry in their own unique styles, which has been carefully and thoughtfully translated into German.
