"Cats are Amiable. Cats are Beguiling. Cats are Cryptic". In this charming book Elizabeth King Brownd has compiled an alphabetical assortment of cat characteristics that capture the many facets of their baffling, exasperating, lovable behavior. For each letter of the alphabet, from "A" for Amiable to "Z" for Zany, there is a full-page, full-color illustration and an accompanying page of affectionate, witty commentary.

If you already own a cat, you will surely recognize many of his of her qualities, obsessions, or foibles in these entrancing portraits. If you do not yet belong to the fraternity of cat owners, then beware of falling under the spell. Cattitudes accurately and endearingly describes the full, fickle range of the feline character.
