1) "Cats" by Amanda O'Neill
"Cats," by Amanda O'Neill is a book for all ages, and is an exquisite "coffee table" book, as well. Cats spring to life on every page through the generous and sumptuous illustrations, but this book isn't just a "pretty face." You and your children can learn a lot also about the magic of cats.

2) "The True or False Book of Cats" by Patricia Lauber
Both adults and youngsters will learn a few new secrets about cats when they read this short book, colorfully illustrated with drawings by Rosalyn Schanzer. Text by Patricia Lauber, published by National Geographic Society.

4) "Gobbolino, the Witch's Cat" by Ursula Moray Williams
This timeless story was first published in 1942 in England, and it continues to enchant both children and adults with Gobbolino's adventures. I found myself rooting for this little almost-black cat, who so wanted to be just a "hearth cat." By Ursula Moray Williams; a KingFisher Modern Classic.

4) "Fog Cat" by Marilyn Helmer and Paul Mombourquette
Fog Cat seemed to be an elusive dream, but she materialized into a real cat, who used the kindness of a girl and her grandfather (the way cats sometimes do), and then vanished, but left a miracle, in return.

5)
"Milton's Christmas"
A great Christmas book for the younger crowd, or for parents to read out load, as we follow Milton through his antics in a house dressed for Christmas. You'll undoubtedly recognize your own cat's little quirks in many of these black and white drawings.
