Summary: A beautiful and clever celebration of life with housecats!
Review: "At Bob Walker and Frances Mooney's home, everything is cat-friendly and feline groovy." -People Magazine

Living and working with a household full of felines has taught Bob Walker and his wife, Frances Mooney, what all cat lovers know: Cats will purr and play and carouse their way into all aspects of their families' lives. Whether Walker and Mooney are working, eating, sleeping, or socializing-cats are into everything they do.

Cats into Everything delves into the fascinating lives of housecats and their people. Featuring Walker's dramatic color photographs and insightful yet often humorous text, this book serves as a visual confessional of what it's like to share life with nine cats and a dog. The cats' daily feeding frenzy at mealtime, exuberant feline fun and games, and nocturnal adventures are documented in extraordinary photo essays. Images include Walker shaving with a feline "supervisor" perched on his shoulder, Mooney knitting an afghan while helpful cats "sort" the yarnballs, and TomCat intercepting a chicken-laden fork. If seeing is believing, this book is proof that life with housecats is fun, adventurous, heartwarming, and filled with fur.

Cats into Everything is a natural follow-up to Walker's award-winning first book, The Cats' House-a beautiful tour of the ultimate cat-friendly home he built in San Diego. The Cats' House is a feline fantasyland featuring 110 feet of elevated walkway, a floor-to-ceiling scratching post, and a cat-sized spiral staircase. The book and home have captured the imaginations of cat lovers everywhere and have been featured by numerous print, radio, and television media worldwide.

Anyone who has seen The Cats' House will testify to Bob Walker's unique gift for dynamic, eye-catching photography. The same color and flair is on display throughout Cats into Everything. It's a funny, flashy, outrageous tribute to the animals that rule Walker's and Mooney's hearts and home.

Summary: Cats into Everything
Review: After everyone's 5-star rating, this book was a big dissapointment. I love cat picture books, but not this one. It's too modern with "rapid fire" pictures, too many on a page, way too many boring shots of cats on glass shot from below. Individual pictures were so cluttered with household stuff the result was a "find-the-cat" puzzle. I also hate full pictures in the ditch of the binding. Pages were so cluttered it reminded me of a modern math text with a scramble of information splattered all over the page. To tell you the truth, I hated it so much I haven't read any of the captions or text. And I can't think of a soul I know to give it to. I guess it's a Salvation Army donation.

Summary: Required Viewing
Review: Every kitten should come equiped with this book. If you don't like it, you ought to consult a physician. A no-BS, colorful, I-wanna-kittie book, we loved every page. But then...ours is a multi cat home with house cats, barn cats, in-the-studio cats and even yard cats. So maybe I'm a bit too subjective, waddya think?

It's not brain surgery, it is just plain cute. Right now I am ordering six more copies to send to friends and family. No kidding.

Summary: Excellent Book for Cat Lovers!
Review: I found this book extremely fun to read. I think anyone with a cat can relate to the stories and pictures. The clever photography gives insight into many aspects of the our pets and while each cat has an individual personality they do share some common traits which this book illustrates wonderfully. I particularly liked the series of photos showing how the cats' sleeping arrangements change throughout the night. I was also very touched by the sections mentioning cats who had passed away. I only have 3 cats, but this book certainly helped me appreciate them even more for the special creatures they are. Bob and Frances' cats are very lucky to live in such a wonderful environment! I hope there is another book in the future.

Review: It is the most accurate collection of photos of cats I've ever seen. Very cool house too!

Summary: Ok, but rather a disappointment
Review: This book did not match my expectations. It is fun to flip through and look at some of the images, but most of the photos are not very well done, too cluttered with everything, but the cats. The layout of the book is too cluttered, confusing too. That said, there are a few very nice shots and overall it's a fun book, but i still put it down with a bad taste in my mouth. If you're looking for cool pictures of animals in nice pet-friendly surroundings, but "Animal House Style" by Julia Szabo. It's a so much better book!

Summary: Purrfection
Review: This is a fun book, full of photos to delight animal lovers. Cat owners (or those owned by cats) will identfy with this family. You will read it again and again.

Summary: Wonderful. This folks love cats almost as much as me!
Review: This is another book by the authors of the Cat House. This is their story of how they live with the felines who run their home. It's both funny, touching, silly and amazing to what lengths they go to keep their furry brood happy. I can only say that they've exceeded my efforts, but only just. Best wishes to them and to the felines blessed to share their 9 lives with them.
