FOUR CATS MAKE ONE PRIDE

On the ever-lengthening shelf of cat books, Elizabeth Kytle's emerges as a winning tribute to her own four in particular and, by extension, to cats in general, Gaylord is the lap cat, Grayling the family beauty, Trilby pansy-faced and companionable, and Alan ""sometimey."" As seen here in numerous photographs, they leap and swat and curl up in too-small places, enjoy liver night and the tinsel confusion of Christmas. Kytle characterizes each with enthusiasm and originality (Trilby has ""the demure look of a nineteenth century novel's heroine--a young person of impressive personal excellence but of no means"") and adds a firm statement on humane breeding and care policies. Another jubilant meow mix for Cat People.
