About this ebook
Featuring more than 100 photos and quotes from cats in Americaâs most glamorous city, Felines of New York exposes the furry underbelly of New York Cityâs most glamorous, self-important residents.
Where the humans of New York are accomplished, interesting, thoughtful, creative, and even sometimes tragic figures, the cats are simply cats. They do not stand in line for brunch, or have season tickets to the Met, or go indoor-rock climbing in Brooklyn. They do not shop at thrift stores or nibble finger sandwiches at the Russian Tea Room. And they certainly do not give a flying f*ck about the Yankees.
No, the felines of New York bathe, purr, bask languidly in the sun, and occasionally cast baleful glances at the humans who provide them food and shelter. They are proof that behind every New Yorker, there lays a cat just waiting to destroy their IKEA futon and then eat their faces off when they die.

I LđVE this book! This is very different than the average "This is what your cat is saying" (or thinking) type of book. Each cat is so "human/cat"-like in their conversations and comments and are so perfectly fitted that I could genuinely picture actual interviews and definitely wish they were longer. lol đ𤣠Please do another one! Thank you for not making this a "short" book - you know, one of those little 80+ page teasers. đ Granted, I couldn't put it down and read it straight through anyway, but that's because it was so good that I just couldn't stop, and I know I'll read it many more times. Great photography also! Capturing cats' momentary feelings is not easy, but you seem to be truly adept at that. Kudos to you and good luck with further endeavors! I'll be waiting for more works like this from you...đ
