Love the pictures....but the last one...."Property of Miss K V Crofts..."? The authors/editors obviously do not know cats!

The Penguin book pictures are great! For illustrated pictures of cats, I love Nicola Bayley.

At the Edward Gorey museum and his last home in Cape Cod, there is a shredded sofa on display; a cat masterpiece.
