From tame tabby to puma, from pussy cat to ocelot, the ten chapters of this picture book are devoted entirely to a species with a mind of its own, slender beasts of shimmering gracefulness and supple elegance, who have long been a favourite motif in the fine arts. Solitary or socializing cats, cats at play or catching mice: Around 400 works by renowned artists, interlaced with plenteous literary quotes, present cats of the world through the ages - from bronze statues fashioned thousands of years ago, to the feline beauties of Leonardo da Vinci and Diirer, to David Hockney`s thoroughly modern kitty.

Crippled and disconsolate, sixteen-year-old Catalina is the one person unable to join in the festivities of the Feast of the Assumption. Yet that is when she miraculously meets and talks with the Blessed Virgin as though she were her own mother. But in the dark days of the Spanish Inquisition, the Church is apt to take a serious view of such an ostentatious claim. The last of Maugham`s novels, Catalina is a romantic celebration of Spain and a delightfully mischievous satire on absolutism.
