Vavra's Cats

What a delightful book! If you're a cat lover, you must get your paws on a copy of this lovely masterpiece. It presents the cat in all her mysterious facets...from jungle king to high society maven. You will find big cats and small, all decked out in jewels and surrounded by exotic locales and people. You'll never quite see your cat in the same way again! I can't imagine why the publisher is no longer printing this wonderful, wonderful work of art.

I saw this book in a University Bookstore in the late '80's-it was incredible. This is nothing like your usual book of cat photography. Some of the pictures I remember: A cheetah photographed in an exquisite, ancient egyptian setting; A splendid African chieftain kneeling next to a majestic male lion; a puma with turquoises wound around it's neck; a mysterious lady and her cat photographed behind a lace curtain; and many more. The book is ravishing! If I'd had any sense, I'd have bought the book even though I was a 'starving student!!' What a shame it's out of print!
