"Perhaps the poet Baudelaire was right to call one's cat 'the sole source of amusement in one's lodgings.' By turns proud, affectionate, or mischievous, the cats featured here bring a new quality of easy elegance to the stunning interiors they call home"-- Back cover.

This is not a book about cats. Nor is it a book on interiors. It is somewhere in-between: a look at how cats and interiors interact, and how cats become a fundamental part of one's home. Really, it is about how a cat completely takes over their home. House Cat is a celebration of fifty-seven charismatic cats and the incredible spaces that they nonchalantly wander. From Grace Coddington's famous felines in their cosmopolitan New York apartment all the way to the farmhouse cat who has no idea that his owner is the great Bunny Williams.
