This whimsical presentation of feline painting by a dozen cats is an extraordinary collection of feline creativity. The paintings are difficult to explain away as examples of "marking" behaviors because they are not typical of felines in general.

Cat painting raises many questions about the source of creativity in cats. Is this an individual peculiarity? Do these cats draw upon inspiration from the same muses as human artists?

The text is engaging, though clearly tongue in cheek.

Warmly recommended to anyone interested in inter-species studies of creativity, as well as to cat lovers.
