Cats at Home

A gorgeously photographed gift book all about cats and the beautiful interiors of their homes. The latest book from acclaimed interiors photographer Rachael Smith is a stunning exploration of some of the quirkiest and most beautiful English homes – and the cats that rule them. Whenever Rachael is commissioned to photograph an interior, her first question is always ’Is there a cat?’, and if the answer is yes, the follow-up comes, ‘Can I photograph that too?’ Here, are the results of several years spent capturing some of the country’s best interiors and, perhaps more importantly, the cats who call them home. Meet Silkypaws who loves to lounge in his family's eclectic home, Mittens who is a bit of a celebrity and – given her house is as glamorous as she is – has even graced the pages of high-end interior design magazines and Coco Chanel who likes nothing better than watching the world go by from the comfort of her perfect pink kitchen! Each image captures a unique moment, be it heartwarming, sweet, funny, or slightly annoying, showing exactly what it’s like to share your home with one of the planet’s most beloved pets. Alongside these original photographs are biographies of the cats, heartwarming anecdotes and gently humorous stories describing their distinctive quirks and offering a glimpse into the special bond between cat and owner. This is a beautifully designed book that will appeal to cat lovers and interior design lovers alike.
