Cartoonist B. Kliban (19351990) loved cats (no surprise there) and usually had several living with him. One day in the early 1970s, Kliban was hard at work doodling and thinking up ideas for cartoons when four striped kitties began demanding his attention. It could have been acatastrophe, but instead of getting angry with his furry friends, Kliban started drawing doodles of them. That moment turned out to be acatalyst for success. Klibans editor saw these cat cartoons, loved them, and convinced Kliban to show them to a book publisher. The frisky felines captured the publishers heart (and funny bone), and Cat was born to the world. The first book (simply calledCat) was published in 1975 andcatapulted Kliban to fame. Lots of colorful Cats followed, until Cat became the ultimate cat to collecta trusted friend, and a guaranteed source of smiles. Cats reign of zany fun continues to this day, as you can see in the 150 stickers in this Sticker Book. Whether theyre skating, surfing, or just being silly, these are the coolest cats youve ever seen! 8 page softcover book with 150 reusable paper stickers (50 different designs) featuring artwork by B. Kliban.

It’s the mother of all cat books. The book that gave new meaning to wacka-wacka and forever redefined it. Cat is the classic that started it all. It gave a voice to catmaniacs around the country and launched an entire genre in publishing and licensing. Everybody went crazy. “Neither cute nor mysterious but instead simply and irreverently, even raucously, very funny.”—Village Voice.

If you are a cat person, you know that cats celebrate Christmas. They marvel at Christmas trees, attack gift wrap, give presents (c'mon! a dead mouse counts!), receive presents, and eat too much. This holiday behavior was shrewdly documented by B. "Hap" Kliban (1935–1990), the closest man to a cat anyone has ever encountered. For the first time, his dozens of Yuletide Cat cartoons and paintings have been collected in this charming but revealing little book. As an extra added attraction, never-before-published Cat lyrics to well-known Christmas carols are included, researched and collected by Professor Winkie B. Earmites. Hark the Hungry Kitties Sing, We Wish You a Mousie Christmas, and Kitties We Have Heard on High are just a few of the rousing standards included. Click on the small picture above for an inside view.
