Description
For cat lovers, the calendar that's as elegant and charming as its often elusive subjects. These hundreds of images, in both black and white and color, are exquisitely composed and capture the cat's grace, distinctive attitude, and the most beguiling details: the high arc of a tail, plush fur, a spray of whiskers, luminescent eyes. Each day's portrait is mesmerizing, a delight to behold.

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).

Kliban -- clearly a deeply damaged cat-person.

A cute little book of cat illustrations; cartoons really.

B. Kilban totally likes cats. And he gets them. This humorous novel shows cats, cat lovers, and generally odd people with cats. The cartoons are funny, some more than others. The author clearly likes Tabby Cats - each one is drawn from the same mould, but each one is clearly an individual. A good

This book first came out when I was in high school, and I was smitten. The cats are spot-on perfect!
At that point, the only popular cat cartoon was Garfield, and while that was OK- Kliban brought a whole new level of humor and surreality to the mix. I suspect we can credit him as a remote ancestor
I am pretty sure, too, that we can credit him with the concept of a "kittyloaf". "Cat: One hell of a fine animal, frequently mistaken for a meatloaf" pretty much sums it up.
I mislaid my old, loved copy of this a long time ago, and I am thrilled to be able to replace it. It has not lost anything with age!

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