Summary: Review from The Book Barn
Review: Cat Book is a lovely and touching art book dedicated to felines the author and her friends have known. There are heroines, scoundrels, and comfortable companions (both feline and human) scattered throughout. If you are a cat person, this is a must read. If you?re not, reading this book may make you one. The art work is incredible! The author painted her oil images on plate glass and then carefully lay paper over the glass and gently rubbed a wooden spoon in small circles around the paper, thereby transferring the images in an unusual, blended manner onto the paper. Emily Weinstein combines the best elements of lovely art with a real knack for storytelling. This book rates a high four hearts.

Summary: Cat Book Speaks to the Heart
Review: Cat Book by Emily Eve Weinstein has that magical blend of words and pictures that are not only easy to read and view, but speak to the heart. She dedicates her book to animal activists everywhere and the stories of both cats and their people, highlight what is good and loving and hopeful for cats (and people) who have "beat the odds" to end up where they are now. Especially important is the emphasis given to the needs of feral cats and how caring people have helped all over the country. You will smile at the stories of the mischevious ones, cry for the ones saved and laugh at the antics of the wiley ones. The beautiful monoprints give the cats you meet character all their own. Buy one for yourself and several as gifts!

Summary: Review by Martina BexteI from BookLoons
Review: I this small compact volume called simply Cat Book, artist Emily Eve Weinstein has created an enchanting and beautiful compilation of paintings and real life stories of our feline friends. With pictures and heartfelt sentences, she introduces us to over fifty kitties.

Weinstein's creations are awash with colour and life and often make you smile. Some of her pieces look almost avant garde and a few resemble puzzles but the cat hidden away in the bold brush strokes makes his or her presence known eventually. The accompanying narratives and anecdotes only make this slim volume that much more enjoyable.

Ms. Weinstein is a firm supporter of animal shelters, rescue agencies and welfare groups and some of these agencies are using her book as a fund raiser. The last few pages also discuss Neuter/Spaying programs, alternative pet care and other valuable information for pet lovers. Cat Book is a must read, whether you're a cat lover or not...

Summary: L.A. Johnson for Midwest Book Review
Review: Ms. Weinstein is a woman blessed with many gifts. Several of these gifts are skillfully applied in Cat Book. Her monoprints in oils capture the essence of each feline featured, and the accompanying prose clearly reveals this author's passion.

The artwork is pleasing to the eye, and each story pairing cat and human is either humorous, heart warming, or touching. Ms. Weinstein's insights into taming feral felines, cat behavior, and maintaining optimum health are priceless.

If you count a cat lover among your family or friends, or if you are a cat lover yourself, Cat Book would be an ideal gift for any reason or season.

I highly recommend it.
