Asleep in the Sun - Hans Walter Silvester Synopsis:
The third and most ravishing volume in Hans Silvester's bestselling photography series -- presents cats stretched across a bright doorway, curled into a sun-baked corner, and rolling lazily against one another. These languid animals glow in Silvester's masterful portraits. 150 color photos.
What I think:
The pictures in here are wonderful. You definitely get the impression that Hans Silvester is a patient man to wait for great shots of these independent cats. And he loves cats! |

The Cats' House - Bob Walker Synopsis:
The Cats' House is a beautiful tour of the ultimate cat-friendly home. Illustrated throughout with dynamic color photos, the book tells how a simple plan to build a room divider transformed a typical tract home into a playful feline jungle gym: 10-feet of brightly colored aerial walkways carry calicoes overhead, spiral staircases and giant scratching posts let tomcats move from floor to ceiling height at will, and creative peepholes let tabbies spy on activities in other rooms. Readers will love the strong architectural design, the vibrant photographs, and the refreshing philosophy that cats have a natural right to pleasure and to a stimulating environment.
What I think:
This is a fun book! I wish that I could build my house like this for my cats (of course my cats run the house anyway!). This house is located near San Diego and is open to the public once or twice a year. I'm going to try and visit sometime soon. |
