Cat Party!: Cats We’ve Known in Words and Pictures

＂The cats in our lives are always close to our hearts, whether they’re napping in a sunbeam, demanding pets and treats, playfully attacking our shoelaces, or haughtily ignoring us. From joy, whimsy, and coziness to nostalgia and loss, these diverse images, comics, and real-life stories span the emotional highs and lows of a life shared with cats and kittens (and, in one case, collectible cat figurines)＂--
