Dr. O. C. Catman, the purrfectly coifed feline self-help guru, offers a fresh perspective on the life and thoughts of cats.

Underneath that fuzzy exterior lies complex, sentient beings intent on domestic domination. Dr. Catman shares his own proven techniques. He explains why manipulation is an art, not a vice, that selfishness is a virtue, and when put to use, rapier-sharp points are quintessential feline assets. He offers readers practical tips any cat can replicate. He even serves up tantalizing recipes for fresh feline cuisine. After reading this book, one wonders who is really in charge on the home front. His revelations will likely strike fear into even the most ardent feline fancier. You will never look at your cat the same way again.

Blue Cats: Cats of the Greek Islands
There are no blue cats in Blue Cats, but there are a number of intriguing local cats living their lives in the blue and white milieu of Greek villages on the islands of Santorini, Rhodes and Antiparos, poised high over the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This coherent series of 28 images begins with cats enclosed in small rectilinear spaces - a picket fence, a window ledge, a thicket of chairs, out to the whitewashed curved and sculpted walls and alleys of Greek villages, to the pillars, roofs and chimneys where they become part of the sky, perching at dizzying heights above the azure sea. The photoessay concludes with a sequence of three jumps - over a gate, off a wall, and finally, off the page. Laid out ‘gallery style’, the book is clean and spare. Shades of blue predominate, each image on its own page surrounded by white as if on the wall of a gallery. The lush colors, the humor, and the sense of huge expanse combine to give an uplifting sense of joy and warmth.
