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.
