The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

Whimsical and Creative
If you find cats funny and charming, and if you like an amazingly well-conceived parody, you may really enjoy this book. Everything is fictional and photoedited but done in an extremely convincing manner. For example in "Chapter I - An Historical Perspective," the authors show pictures of Egyptian cat mummies, cat hieroglyphs, and perfectly annotated fake museum notes. There are fake biographies of famous cat artists, like Minnie, the Abstract Expressionist and Ginger, the Neo-Synthesist! The pages are filled with beautiful images and hilarious descriptions. For me this book is a definite mood elevator!If you find cats funny and charming, and if you like an amazingly well-conceived parody, you may really enjoy this book.

Humor, art and cats all in the same book...so enjoyable
My copy of this book is softcover, and has 96 pages. It has full color photographs that I think cat lovers will really get a kick out of! They are so cute! This book explores cat sculpture (shredded furniture! LOL!)...and best of all cat painting! just wait till you see this! you'll want to set up a studio for your own kittycat! And this is a good book to turn to if you ever get mad at your precious for doing something destructive...it will make you laugh until you don't feel bad anymore. Quoting a bit from the book, "The fact that some domestic cats are able to make marks with paint has always been explained by biologists as an instinctive form of territorial marking behavior.

Now, "Why Cats Paint" presents a cogently argued theory based on recent evidence which clearly supports the view that some cats' marks are aesthetically motivated and should be regarded as genuine works of non-primate art..." If you enjoy either art or cats, I think you will appreciate this book. The book sorta takes a humorous jab at the pretentious world of art criticism, while pretending to be a serious book. (It isn't; it's totally tongue-in-cheek.) I love it! I definitely recommend it.

The photos are unbelievable but the text is also thoughtful and researched. Includes art critique and theory, historical context, and even spiritual angle. Who wouldn’t want a collection of objectively brilliant paintings by CATS? Purchasing copies for everyone I know!

Title is ambiguous, intriguing & ultimately accurate
I happened on this book in my local library & mistakenly assumed it was a cutesy book for cat-lovers. Instead, I found it to be a scholarly treatment of a phenomenon dating back to Egyptian times and a subject of serious, multi-disciplinary study. As an Art major & cat-lover, I had to have it for its wonderful illustrations, if nothing else. It introduced me to "speciesism" and challenged my viewpoint on aesthetics, both human and feline. I bought a copy for my personal collection as well as for my skeptical vetinarian. It has has afforded me much delight and spirited conversation with others who appreciate the unique and impossible-to-define nature of cats.I happened on this book in my local library & mistakenly assumed it was a cutesy book for cat-lovers.

they aren't kidding.
It is a "serious" subject which has me in hysterics every time I read any part of it. To think that "art" painted by cats is worth hanging in galleries is beyond belief. But it is according to this book. I bought several copies to give as gifts it is so compelling.
