Small little gem and a quick read for anyone who loves cats.....which i do!..This photo/story montage just proves the unpredictability of the cat as well as the total misunderstanding of cats in general.....very complex beings! Wonderfully complex beings. Great true stories of untraditional relationships developed by cats and others, be they cat or otherwise, all accompanied by charming photos of them being.....well.....themselves! I actually gave it to my grandmother as a gift many years ago, and ended up with it upon the settling of her estate....with my gift notation still intact.....so, this holds a special place beyond the normal.… (more)

A charming collection of black and white photos showcasing the life of the urban dog. Just the sort of thing I find enjoyable and cannot resist at the thrift store when the low, low price has been marked down 50%.

I think this sort of collection is a little window onto the world. I get to travel vicariously to places and times I shall never physically see.
