Cat lovers rejoice, here is a new pictorial book featuring classic cat art! What a great gift for cat lovers (and art lovers, too). Cats are beautiful and make the perfect subject for a painting or drawing. Carl Scott Harker has an affinity for cats. So fascinated by them, in fact, he has authored two poetry books about cats, “Poems by M y Cat” and “The Happy Cat.” While doing his researches on the topic of felines, Mr Harker came across a fair number of classic artworks featuring cats, and that is the art he is sharing with you in this book. Some of the cats in this pictorial are the specific focus of the artist’s presentation. While in other works, cats are accompanied by humans or are just part of the landscape. The fifty-three paintings and illustrations selected for your enjoyment display a variety of styles and artists – and well represent the best of the Classic Fine Art of Cats.

Here is a cat poem by Carl Scott Harker… Cats Rasps of a tongue arching the back, vibrations of love the hunter's attack. Whiskers measure width sharp prickling claws tail like a rope independence the law. A wanderer free sings in the night meows when it wants you then scratches and bites. How I do love you cute bundle of fur and bow to your wishes my good madam or sir.
