These fabulous felines inhabit New York City’s most legendary and coziest spots—the Algonquin Hotel, a whiskey distillery, bookstores, bodegas and grocery stores, firehouses, a rubber stamp store, an art supplies store, and everything in between. True New Yorkers—masters of people watching—they perch on wine crates, piles of books, and a classic hotel countertop, taking in the activity around them, judging their peers, and thrilling their enthusiastic admirers.<BR/><BR/> A celebration of some of the city’s most revered feline citizens and a unique look at New York life, this enchanting, illustrated volume is a must for every cat lover and Big Apple devotee.
