Clever faux exposition on art theory. (Cats, for the record, favor abstract expressionism.) While it's the striking photos of cats 'painting' that initially catch the readers attention, the tongue-in-cheek text that explains in mock seriousness feline aesthetics had me guffawing. Anyone who's yawned over pretentious art criticism will readily see what is being lampooned.

(Reread in February 2018 prior to giving away this book to a friend.
