Of Cats and Men: Profiles of History's Great Cat-Loving Artists, Writers, Thinkers, and Statesmen Hardcover – April 18, 2017

I wish the author, Sam Kalda, would write another book about both men and women (past and present) who were/are cat lovers. This was a wonderful, quick and easy read !!!

This is a smart, quirky, feminist and fun collection of brief biographies of famous men who've bucked gender constraints and loved them some cats. First, the writing is great, the biographies are smart and just telling enough to sate the uncurious and whet the appetites of more interested folks. But most importantly, the illustrations here are gorgeous--distinctly styled but not gimmicky, clever but not ONLY clever.As a cat-lover (who is, however, not a "crazy cat lady"... this is my ONLY book about cats) and a lover of redemptive history, this is one of my new favorite books. I show it to everyone. One sometimes gets in trouble on this site for using the "q" word that rhymes with "cheer," so I'll simply say it's fulfilling to those of us who care about gender nonconformity and unearthing the ways in which our Official History has bulldozed over actual human stories that don't quite fit. Even Hemmingway's.

Product arrived in good shape.

Perfect for men who are cat lovers, as a fun coffee table book or even for bathroom reading. Good quality binding and print on pages. I was surprised at how much content was in the book. Gave as a gift to my boyfriend after he helped me take care of my cat and gave it to him as if it was a gift from my cat, haha. It is a "cute" gift but don't confuse "cute" with quality or appearance - the book is well done and not corny or cheesy at all.

Fun and interesting read for cat lovers. Lovely illustrations as well. I recommend it as a present for that Cat Man in your life.

The author’s humorous writing and interesting catman facts created a delightful read. The simple catman per chapter was an added pleasure for me. Not sure why, but being a catman that’s just how it is 😏.Anyone who loves cats, or animals, and ‘dirt“ on famous people could enjoy this book. I give it 4 stars for being good and enjoyable, a step up from the average.

This book is like a short list of famous artists, authors, actors who liked cats.Many of the listed people I did not know. So, this is an introduction of them for me.If I have the time, I will check on them or their works.One of the writings was a kind of funny.

This is a delightful and charming book. I gave it to my son and his husband for their anniversary, as they are both cat men. If you have ever admired a cat, you cannot help but be enchanted by the short, entertaining bios of famous men who have loved their felines. Some bios are really surprising! The artwork is whimsical but accurate and complements the text. A wonderful book. More than just a "coffee table" item.

High quality, hard-cover book.

Brought this for my husbands birthday as we both love cats, I think he'll very much enjoy this book! Very stylish illustrations!

Acquistato come Secret Santa.I disegni sono molto belli e le storie curiose, un ottimo acquisto per i vostri amici amanti dei gatti :)

Voll von vielen 'unbekannten' Katzenbewundere, einige weitere Referenzen sind darin. Schade das Verpackung einfach beschädigend ist, cover ist gekratzt und unschön.

super pretty and arrived really fast
