There is much to say about cats. A cat—whether white, black, spotted, or striped—is independent yet seeks closeness. And they have a magnetic attraction to us. Christine Knödler and Reinhard Michl have compiled an unconventional selection of stories, poems, and aphorisms in this beautifully illustrated book. It features authors such as Robert Gernhardt, T. S. Eliot, Franz Hohler, Heinrich Heine, and Jutta Richter—along with Alberto Giacometti and Georg Ringsgwandl. All texts are accompanied by Michl's painterly, illustrative, sketch-like, idyllic, and quirky images. Cat lovers of all ages will find something to enjoy here.
