Description

A visual celebration, from a master cartoonist, of all of the ways by which cats have slunk their way into the English language

Over the centuries human beings have had the sort of passion for cats that not only have they invaded our homes—occupying the sunniest corners and sitting at the softest mats they may be able to find—they have got also invaded our language. Norman Thelwell’s choice of drawings is a party of this fact. From “scaredy cat” to “catnap,” Thelwell’s delicious and sleek drawings remind us of these phrases in hilarious and ceaselessly unexpected ways. Moving beyond phrases to words, Thelwell’s endearingly witty vignettes also offer punning feline interpretations of such words as “catarrh,” “platypus,” and “opus.” For lovers of cats and pictures of cats, this collection is a should.
