BenBella Books My Life in the Cat House: True Tales of Love,
Book SynopsisCelebrate the human-feline bond with all its joys, mysteries, and life-changing moments. Gwen Cooper—author of the blockbuster bestseller Homer's Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life With a Blind Wonder Cat—returns with the ongoing adventures of her much-beloved, world-famous fur family. Ideal for new readers and longtime fans alike, this memoir told in eight purr-fect cat stories is filled with all the humor and heart Gwen's devoted readership has come to know and love. Raised in a dog-loving family, Gwen never pictured herself as a "cat person." But from the very first feline she adopted—an adorable five-week-old rescue kitten, slow to learn how to trust after life on the streets—Gwen was smitten. Eventually one rescue kitten became five, and all the ups and downs of a life with cats are lovingly depicted here: From the obsessive cat who teaches himself to play fetch and demands it morning, noon, and night from his hapless human mom; to the crafty white beauty who raises outside-the-litter-box thinking to the level of an art form; to the routine vet trip that turns into a hijinks-filled misadventure on the streets of Manhattan with three (VERY cranky!) felines in tow. And Homer, the Blind Wonder Cat himself, returns triumphant in new tales of life and love after worldwide fame. Sure to be treasured by cat lovers everywhere, My Life in a Cat House will leave you laughing out loud, shedding an occasional tear, and hugging your own cat a little bit closer. Read and rejoice!Trade Review"Whether describing Vashti bringing her a breakfast bug in bed or Scarlett crying out for her not to leave, Cooper's light and cheerful style makes it obvious that these cats are the loves of her life. Even readers with little inclination towards anthropomorphism will delight in these anecdotes of cats who seemingly have something to say about everything." —Booklist "This book perfectly encapsulates the unique and amazing experience of being owned by cats and the joy they bring into our lives. That alone is reason enough to read it." —James Bowen, author of A Street Cat Named Bob "Gwen Cooper is the Queen of Cat Love—and in these fun and frisky stories, she perfectly captures all the reasons felines rule our hearts and our homes. No cat lover should be without this book, but more important, give it to the folks who haven't yet seen the light. At least they'll understand us better!" —Sy Montgomery, author of How to Be a Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals "One of the great pleasures of life is watching cat videos on the internet. They are irresistible. Good news: Gwen Cooper's new book is exactly like a cat video. What a pleasure to read her beautiful stories, brimming with her cat-love and even more important her ability to get you to actually see her cats. Like the videos, you will want to see more and more. She can become your next obsession, as she has become mine!" —Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, international bestselling author of The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats "An elegant, incisive account of love, laughter, and the deep meaning and magic cats add to our lives." —Britt Collins, author of Strays: A Lost Cat, a Homeless Man, and Their Journey Across AmericaTable of ContentsContents Author’s Preface I Choo-Choo-Choose You Stop Trying to Make Fetch Happen The Picasso of Pee Cat Lovers Don’t Read Books THEM!

Edition Reuss Island of Cats -- Hydra
Book SynopsisText in English, German & Greek. Hydra Island cats! Embark on a photographical journey to the Greek island of Hydra in the Mediterranean Sea with this photo book -- this island is a hot tip for all cat-lovers. Hydra is a magic and sleepy spot with wild groups of cats and wheedling velvet paws. Cats are simply everywhere here -- in colours of all shades, at the harbour, in the town and in natural surroundings. They belong to the local residents'' everyday life, and tourists love them. It was love at first sight when photographer and cat-lover Gabriela Staebler first set foot on Hydra and succumbed to the beguiling charm of the island''s cats. While roving through the island, she took impressive snapshots of the cats and created idyllic portraits. Her best photographs are compiled in this wonderful photo book. Additionally, cat-lovers are given further interesting information like, for example, the touching stories of HydraArk, an organisation for the protection of cats and other animals. Its non-profit-making commitment to the welfare of street cats on Hydra and the loving help of volunteers are rays of hope for all cat-lovers. You cannot but love the wheedling little tigers of Hydra: if you give your love to a cat, it will be requited thousandfold. Hydra is a place of tranquillity and inspiration. The island has attracted lots of artists and celebrities -- among them Sophia Loren and Leonard Cohen. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on Hydra, and no discotheques either. What you may enjoy instead are breathtaking views to the sea, tranquillity, pristine nature and free-roaming cats. Life here goes on at a more leisurely pace. Hydra''s world is more colourful and cheerful than any other. During the summer months, people from all over the world sit outside the taverns. Hydra is also a wild natural beauty and a paradise at any season of the year. The cats on the island are looking forward to your visit and they welcome you by uttering a loud meeeow!

Duke University Press Marx for Cats
Book SynopsisAt the outset of Marx for Cats, Leigh Claire La Berge declares that “all history is the history of cat struggle.” Revising the medieval bestiary form to meet Marxist critique, La Berge follows feline footprints through Western economic history to reveal an animality at the heart of Marxism. She draws on a twelve-hundred-year arc spanning capitalism’s feudal prehistory, its colonialist and imperialist ages, the bourgeois revolutions that supported capitalism, and the communist revolutions that opposed it to outline how cats have long been understood as creatures of economic critique and liberatory possibility. By attending to the repeated archival appearance of lions, tigers, wildcats, and “sabo-tabbies,” La Berge argues that felines are central to how Marxists have imagined the economy, and by asking what humans and animals owe each other in a moment of ecological crisis, La Berge joins current debates about the need for and possibility of eco-sociaTrade Review“Marx for Cats is an undomesticated and indefinable meow de coeur. You can open this book anywhere---it's a Marxist Choose Your Own Adventure---and come away as unsettled, possessed, and reflective as any transportative encounter with a cat might leave you.” -- Jordy Rosenberg, author of * Confessions of the Fox *“Who knew that following cats could open up history and enliven Marxism?

WW Norton & Co Catnip: A Love Story
Book SynopsisWith the imagination of a writer and the eye of an artist, Michael Korda doodled on the backs of old manuscripts in his tackroom while his wife, Margaret, was out riding. They loved and acquired cats—a habit written about previously in their book, Cat People—and the few in residence at this time would serve as inspiration for the drawings. These are no ordinary cat illustrations, though. Korda’s cats read newspapers and books; go ice skating in the small country town where they live; comfort Margaret’s horse, Monty, after a stressful vet visit; sell fried mice at the Farmer’s Market, and undertake (on paper, at least) whatever fanciful endeavours their keeper conjures up. The result is a collection of magical pieces, filled with joy, that represent a year in the life of a couple in love with one another, and certainly with their cats.

Triumph Books Making the Most of All Nine Lives: The
Book SynopsisIf cats really did have nine lives, none would live all of them as fully as Buffy, an orange tabby from the suburbs of Chicago. In the course of his lifetime, Buffy was a bartender, a judge, a DJ, a teacher, and a dental hygienist. Like many who live and work in a city, he spent his days eating breakfast, commuting on public transit, going grocery shopping, and enjoying a cold beverage at the end of a long day. There were the chores—mowing the lawn, chopping firewood—but then on weekends, he laid out at the beach, took the kayak out on the water, went fishing, and relaxed by listening to music. Follow Buffy along on 100 of his adventures, depicted in full-color photography, and learn what it means to make the most of all nine lives!
