I Am the Cat, Don't Forget That: Feline Expressions

It may sound odd to say this, but I loved this book so much, I gave it away.As soon as I read through it, in love with the poetry as much as the photos, I knew immediately that my cousin, a dear friend who loves cats as much as I do, should have it.As a long-time fan of Mr Blount, especially from NPR, I was very much delighted to see his poetic side. Each poem is akin to haiku, in that they illustrate a single moment of awareness, in this case, for cat owners.Yes, sometimes the awareness is one you've already experienced. But the combination of the photos and poetry will therefore only resonate that much more deeply.

It is a great book for any cat lover. No matter their age it will be appreciated. I got it for a 76 year old male and he got a kickOut of it🙀

See above. It's too late for a return, to I'll substitute my own cover, but if one can be supplied, that wouldbe nice!

This was a condolence gift to my sister upon the loss of her beloved Kitty. She liked the book very much and said that there was a photo of a cat that looked just like him. The book arrived on time and in good condition. The photographer has empathy with the animals and their emotions, and the poetry is humorously insightful.

This book is a must have for cat lovers. I originally found it at my cat vet's office and couldn't put it down. The pictures are adorable and comments are so entertaining. I have purchased several copies of this book and gifted it to fellow cat lover friends.

This book looked promising when I purchased it-the collaboration of a photographer and writer to produce a book that gives "voice" to the cat. I was disappointed that the reality did not live up to the promise. The photographs were not outstanding, I have seen better in several similiar collections. The narrative was truly disappointing. I felt that Roy Blount Jr really has no understanding of, or true appreciation for, cats. While he may have lived with cats in the past, and may have fond memories of some of them, the words he gave to the photographs fail to capture the essense of cats in all but one or two instances.I would highly recommend any of the willow creek books (such as "What Cats Teach Us", "Bad Kitties" or "Cat Rules" in place of this book.

Any cat lover will agree with me that this is the best cat book ever. The poetry of Roy Blount fits the wonderful photographs 100%. I have had this book for years, and the two copies I ordered through Amazon were for gifts to special people of a special book.

Touching - perfect for any cat lover.I purchased this after having the one about dogs for years.Would make a great gift for yourself or anyone - male or female.

I already own this book myself, but got these as gifts to other cat lovers.

Very delightful book - excellent gift for cat lovers.
