Meow: A book of happiness for cat lovers by Anouska Jones

From the publisher: Cats have a way of walking into our lives and making themselves right at home. No cat lover can imagine life without a feline presence - even if it is only as fleeting as the occasional conversation with a neighbourhood stray. Meow: A book of happiness for cat lovers is a compendium of delightful quotes that capture the essence of this fascination. Some are by famous people (Mark Twain, Jean Cocteau, Ernest Hemingway), others not; some are philosophical, others light-hearted - all are memorable. Accompanied by beautiful photography, and presented in a high-quality gift format, this is a collection of quotes to treasure.

Tortie Shorties Review: One of the most beautiful collections of feline photography you are likely to find, accompanied by quotes that celebrate the most perfect animal ever created. Subtitled "a book of happiness for cat lovers," every time I comb through it's pages my heart sings.

Ami Ami Kittens: Seriously Cute Crochet! by Mitsuki Hoshi

From the publisher: Amigurumi, which translates to knitted stuffed toy in Japanese, is the art of crocheting cute stuffed animals with large heads and small bodies. Ami Ami Kittens is packed with projects for all crochet lovers offering them directions and inspiration for creating a range of fun and irresistible yarn kittens. Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions, illustrations, and enchanting color photographs teach them how to create these super adorable felines of various breeds and types, including Tabby, Pointed, Black/White Solid, Black and White, Calico, Scottish Fold, Siamese, Russian Blue, Munchkin, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, and American Shorthair. Here, too, are instructions for transforming them into key chains, finger puppets, and magnets.

Ami Ami Kittens covers a wide range of techniques, from basic crochet skills perfect for beginners to more challenging patterns for experts, and offers spiral methods to ensure that the stuffing stays inside the finished piece. Filled with pretty, fun, and irresistibly adorable young cats, Ami Ami Kittens provides hours of fun for every knitter—and cat lovers, too.

Tortie Shorties Review: I am the least crafty person you will ever meet but this book has me wanting to learn how to crochet!!! It contains the absolute cutest pictures I have ever seen (that don't include real live cats)! Each crocheted kitten is unique and so life-like you forget they're made out of yarn. The miniature scenes created for the crafty kitties bring each picture to life even more. Even if you don't crochet you will never tire of looking at the adorable images. Now I wonder if the author has an online store...

A Cat Taught Me That: Life's Lessons Learned from Felines by Charlotte Gerber

From the publisher: Catnap often. You can never be too fluffy or have too many treats. Despite the rumor, it is okay to be curious! A Cat Taught Me That is filled with humorous advice and the wisdom of elder cats that includes information on how to get more out of life, and how to avoid common pitfalls along the way. Cat lovers will enjoy the adorable photographs and cute illustrations throughout. Celebrity cat 'Awesome Louie' provides insight with his sage advice in his "Mewsings" column. Short essays from the cat-lady author will bring smiles to the faces of readers when they learn that "Not All That Glitters is Gold" and “To Be Kissed By a Cat” can have unintended consequences.

Tortie Shorties Review: Twitter star and blogging kitty Awesome Louie is the star of this adorable book of feline wisdom told through his "mewsings" and short essays from his human, author Charlotte Gerber. Anyone who has ever lived with a cat knows there is much to be learned from them and Louie is a very insightful kitty indeed.
