Summary: A MUST OWN Book, especially for cat & art afficiandos
Review: A delightful romp through the world of art and cats! Incredibly eye-appealing art work and food for thought. Folks, I think we are following the wrong path here. Dedicate one room in your home to the cats, set up the paint and easels...and put the little critters to work! They seem to love it!! I know I did...great uplifting book and look at life

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brilliant, sharp and very true
Review: After reading this book you'll never look at your cat the same way

Summary: Unrequited glory
Review: As a non-primate artist, I find myself struggling for credibilty within a homo sapien-dominant society. My exclusion from this book infuriates me; I have been painting with my paws for 10 years, and *not* with the anthropomorphic media the majority of the other cats use. Mine is a non-traditional approach steeped in the ancient rituals of animism which predate the appearance of you narrow-minded, talking monkies -- I swat at the flies which hover above my half-buried faecal matter, smearing my own personal excreta upon the surrounding vertical surfaces. I not only proclaim my dominance and territory this way, but I express the integration of necessity and ensoulment.

I am truly disheartened that I, a simple, "homeless" alley cat be discriminated against inclusion in this publication because I do not fit the priveledged, domesticated, bourgeois ideal. I refuse to wear a collar, and I beg freely at back alley kitchen exits. None of you talking monkies will ever claim me as a "pet," nor will I conform to your elitist dogma. I find your art criticism trite and superficial, a paeon to the Ivory Tower of academia -- completely detached from what it means to be feline, to teeter on the edge of survival.

May all my shed fur cling to your formalwear.

Summary: There is life after logic
Review: At last! Help for the reader weary of the age of logic, in which everything that makes life worth while can be explained as a juxtaposition of magnetic forces or a slight irregularity in brain waves. The combination of exquiste photographs, straight-faced commentary and subtle pin pricks to the pompous of the art world make this book completely enchanting. Not the least of the fun is showing Why Cats Paint to friends and acquaintances, and watching them struggle to decide whether or not their legs are being pulled. Rare to the point of being unique, is the proof that satire can be served without vinegar

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: cute and informative book
Review: Cats are artistic as this book show s and proves its really worth reading and so very good Cats are amazing creatures artistic and we can learn a lot from them

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A laugh on almost every page
Review: Come on people, it's not really an art book. It's tongue-in-cheek fun for cat lovers. Evidence: check out Bootsie, the trans-expressionist on Pg. 72, Angel undergoing bovine hypnosis on pg. 85, and many more examples. If you still believe there is significant evidence of representational invertism in feline territorial demarcation activity, please take it up with Charlie, the Peripheral Realist; Ginger the Neo-Synthesist or Princess the Elemental Fragmentist. I'm too busy admiring Tiger, the Spontaneous Reductionist.

Summary: Feline Aesthetics
Review: Great coffee table book. Guaranteed to start conversations. And, of course, a very entertaining read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wholy Cats!
Review: I bought the coffee table version of this book in 1994. It looks like an art book, and reads like an art book, except all the artists are cats. I love cats, and I love art, and I love this book. It's the funniest send-up of coffee table art books you will ever find.

Summary: Why Won't My Cats Paint??
Review: I bought this book, went to the paint store, and my cats haven't painted anything. I want my money back! And I've tried calling the non-primate museum but there's no listing!
