Description: Illustrations of cat breeds--one for each letter of the alphabet--and the names of over 300 "alpha" cats with stories and feline anecdotes create a repertoire of the characters that make each cat worthy of a name. From Boise, Hemingway's favorite, to Pulcinella, who inspired Scarlatti's Cat's fugue sonata, from Brillant, Louis XV's beautiful Angora to Socks, the Clintons' pet during their White House tenure, each letter of the alphabet has many inspiring names.
