Not your ordinary cat cartoons. Some are very surreal. "Flat Cat in Slat Vat," for instance. (

A cute little book of cat illustrations; cartoons really. (

Kliban -- clearly a deeply damaged cat-person. (

I've been enamoured of this book ever since I was a little child, and it's still completely adorable (in a wonderfully non-cloying way). (

I love this book of cat cartoons!

My favourite is the banjo playing cat: "Love to eat them mousies, mousie's what I love to eat. Bite they little heads off, nibble on they tiny feet...'. Oh yeah.

And, interspersed with the funny stuff, are drawings of the real cats which are just beautiful. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0911104542, Paperback)

It’s the mother of all cat books. The book that gave new meaning to wacka-wacka and forever redefined it.
Cat is the classic that started it all. It gave a voice to catmaniacs around the country and launched an entire genre in publishing and licensing. Everybody went crazy.

“Neither cute nor mysterious but instead simply and irreverently, even raucously, very funny.”—Village Voice.
