Cat Angels The Secret Lives of Cats Amy White 9780982586495 Books
"There is only one thing worse in the world than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." This aphorism, attributed to Oscar Wilde, makes an appearance in Amy White's marvelous "Cat Angels," an altogether delightful and whimsical book that celebrates the many mysteries and fancies of our feline companions. The book is replete with wise sayings from the masters, merry musings from the author, and, most remarkably, photographs of cats in every imaginable pose, both humanoid and avian. Yes, many of the cats in this book are equipped with wings, as befits their angelic status.So, full disclosure here: I am not really the world's most ardent cat fancier -- far from it in fact -- but there was a time in my life when I found myself sharing living quarters with several cats in succession. Well, despite my best efforts to resist their charms, they eventually won me over. My friend Amy White was just then beginning to prepare the book that you are now reading about, and I suggested that one of the bewhiskered housemates who had captivated me might similarly enchant her. Amy did predictably bond with and succumb to Sweet Pea's "person"-ality, and said feline now enjoys pride of place in this current tome.
Whatever your view of cats, you will find "Cat Angels" an absolute joy to read and savor, and if you have a cat lover in your life, you will not want to let him or her miss this unique and marvelous book.

Cat Angels The Secret Lives of Cats Amy White 9780982586495 Books Reviews
Amy White's wonderful little book "Cat Angels" has finally arrived, and I was one of the first to buy a copy. I had seen a few of her wonderful photomontages online, made from photos of cats, bird (or statuary) wings, and romantic backgrounds, that together created fantasy worlds in which the winged cats indulged in all the romps they seem to wish for in real life. It is a peek into that wonderful world that does not disappoint.
The photomontages selected for full pages are rich with humorous detail and tiny surprises. I found myself repeatedly reaching for the magnifying glass so I wouldn't miss anything. My only regret is that the single dog in the book is Ellis's biker hellion. I want Amy's solemn oath that she will make at least a few more angel dogs for the next book!
Starting with beautiful photographs of cats in common or unusual poses, Amy then photographs wings, both natural and artificial, and customizes them to perfectly match her cats. Look at the wings on the Peace Angel on p.71 -- I defy anyone to visualize this kitty without her wings! And the Fallen Angel on p.52 certainly has the wings of a gargoyle -- perfectly blended with the menacing expression of the murderous cat.
And the little portraits are just as wonderful. My favorite is the lovely Birman on p.10 seen in mid-toilette. Another of my favorites is the Thank You! cat on page 90.
Within the fantasy landscapes of the framed photomontages are backgrounds and added elements carefully selected to blend into elegant views into the private worlds of Amy's cat angels. And even the frames and wallpaper draw you deeper into the world she has created for each cat.
Couch Potato Molly reminded me instantly of the work of artist Donald Roller Wilson from his 1988 book "Roller". But where Roller was creating his fantasies with paint, and so could make magic happen straight from his imagination, Amy starts with real cats and real wings and furnishings. How is it that Molly truly seems to be watching TV with the remote control? The seamless flow of elements in the finished photomontage are an amazing legerdemain.
The feline mystique doesn't end with the pictures. Unlike most art books, the stories are just as worth diving into as the art. Amy's insights and humor about cats fill every page, and blend the everyday observations with the secrets and whimsy of cats.
This is a book you can enjoy cover to cover -- there's even humor on the copyright page! And as the chubby calico angel after the thank-you pages says, "No cats were off-shored or injured in the making of this book."
I must admit I haven't yet finished exploring the worlds of Amy's Cat Angels. But with this book you don't want to rush it, because you don't want the surprises to end.
During a visit with us several years ago, Amy White described the 'Cat Angels" project she was working on and she took photos of Blondie and Jellybones, who is a mitten-paw. Later on she sent us some proofs of the "angels" our cats had become. We have anxiously awaited the publication of her book ever since. Now it is here, and it is fantastic.
Her artistic rendering of the photos in the book are amazing and amusing and the accompanying quotes and descriptions make each selection come alive. Cat lovers, animal lovers - you will enjoy Amy's wonderful book.
Whether dancing in celebration of the coming season, or falling from grace, or in your face, Cat Angels are all around us, inviting us to paws and revel in the moment. Come join this parade of furry-feathered whimsy. Discover the secret lives of your own Cat Angels, and listen to the stories they wish to tell.

Great book with good stories and pictures
This is a sweet book that is beautifully illustrated which contains stories about all sorts of cats & their whimsical tales and antics. I thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover. Any White did a wonderful job on this & you could tell that it was a labor of love.
