The connection between women and cats is timeless--explore how this
truth endures in the 21st century through Leah Goren's enchanting
artwork, along with contributions by more than 25 women.
There's no question that cats rule the world--ask any cat owner and
they'll tell you how these balls of fur insert themselves into our lives
and establish dominion over the household. In this book, Leah Goren
brings together smart, funny essays by ban.do founder Jen Gotch, writer
Mara Altman, novelist Emma Straub, and designer Justina Blakeney, among
others. She also conducts illuminating interviews with women who have
built their lives or careers around cats, such as Lisa Kytösaho, the
head of a cheetah rehabilitation and conservation organization in South
Africa, and Hannah Shaw, a humane educator and rescuer of neonatal
kittens. Throughout the book, Goren's appealing illustrations bring the
joys of cat friendship to life, while her observations about the roles
that cats have played in history, fashion, mythology, and art help us
understand why the human-cat connection is so powerful. Sophisticated
yet accessible, and featuring the work of a hugely popular illustrator,
this book's wisdom and artwork reveal deeper truths about what makes
cats so appealing as companions. Catlady will speak to the millions of
cat lovers who know just how strongly we identify with our feline
friends.
