Two standout articles feature real-life obsessives of ages past who reveal todayâ€™s Caturnet devoteesâ€”with their GIFs and Tumblrs and hastily aggregated listiclesâ€”for what they truly are: amateurs. . . . Eat your heart out, Cute Overload.â€,â€”,The New York Times Book Review, Â , â€œA beautiful hardcover.â€,â€”Jenny McCarthy, ,People, Â , â€œThis irresistible anthology of articles, poems, essays, fiction, cartoons, and covers pulled from the New Yorker is a veritable treasure trove for cat lovers. Just dive right in; with stories from the likes of John Updike, Maeve Brennan, Roald Dalhl, and Haruki Murakami interwoven with hilariously wry cartoons, one canâ€™t help but be enthralled. A must-have.â€,â€”,Modern Cat,

, â€œA shiny, well-fed tome . . . The anthology embodies the catâ€™s defining characteristic: its cluster of opposites, rolled together into a giant hairball of cultural attitudesâ€”something, perhaps, at once uncomfortably and assuringly reflective of our own chronically conflicted selves.â€,â€”,Brain Pickings, Â , â€œThis gorgeous book has earned a permanent spot on my coffee table. It is an absolute joy to read and browse through, and I know it will bring me hours and hours of pleasure for years to come. And it makes a purr-fect gift for the special cat lovers in your life.â€,â€”,The Conscious Cat,
