A Cat Book

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. A Cat Book is a delightfully witty celebration of feline life, written with affectionate mischief by E. V. Lucas and brought to vivid life with charming illustrations by Pat Sullivan, creator of Felix the Cat. In playful verses and keenly observed sketches of cat behavior, Lucas captures everything that makes cats so endlessly captivating: their elegance, greed, independence, vanity, cunning, and impossible charm. From a kitten's fascination with string to a grown cat's disdain for disturbance, this whimsical collection turns everyday feline habits into comic poetry. Lucas writes with a light touch and a sharp eye, finding amusement in the ways cats rule households, outwit their people, and remain gloriously unbothered by human expectations. The result is both funny and affectionate—a book that will delight cat lovers, poetry lovers, and anyone who has ever been owned by a cat. Charming, clever, and irresistibly readable, A Cat Book is a portrait of cats as they truly are: mysterious, majestic, infuriating, and utterly lovable.
