Cats have lived among us as friends for at least 8000 years. At first the relationship was one of mutual service - the cat exchanging rodent control for a warm place to sleep. The interdependence has grown deeper and subtler with the passage of time. In this volume Welleran Poltarnees speaks of the traits he values in cats, among which are: grace, dignity, self-reliance, creative playfulness and mystery. Each of his eloquent statements is accompanied by two pictures. Some of the artists included are: Steinlen, Renoir, Foyita, George Stubbs, Henriette Ronner-Knip, Oliver Herford, A.E. Kennedy, Edwin Noble. and Louis Wain.

Dogs are our oldest friends. When a wolf first came to crouch by our fire, cats were wild beasts searching out their own prey, and horses still ran at the first sniff of our approach. Welleran Poltarnees has a lifelong love for dogs, and here in this book he distills his love for them into words. He praises them for their unwavering love, their ready sympathy, their fresh delight in simple pleasures, and their sometimes unconscious humor. He has made each statement more resonant by the addition of pictures, frequently from obscure sources.
