    About this ebook

    This unusual book conrtains a guide for drawing cats, and would be a lovely addition to the bookshelf of any artist. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

As a consequence, instead of imposing a borrowed or extraneous technique upon her subjects, she has developed by sustained observation and affectionate enthusiasm her special method, or individual style, of rendering cats. In all her work, from her swift pencil notations to her most finished studies in line and wash, she displays remarkable understanding of the spirit of cats: their self-absorption, their secrecy and impulsiveness, their indignation and furtive petulancies—all the moods and tempers of these sly, undomesticated
