Shakespeare Cats
Shakespeare Cats | Susan Herbert
18 posts | 1 read | 8 to read
For this book of cats in costume, Susan Herbert turns from masterpieces of fine art to masterpieces of theater. Painting in her familiar and highly popular style, this imaginative artist presents an irresistible array of well-known characters in the great Shakespearean plays, from the tragic Romeo and Juliet to the mischievous Titania, from the beautiful Cleopatra to the roguish Falstaff. In thirty-two entrancing paintings, Susan Herbert opens up an unsuspected world of Shakespeare interpreted by cats with all their winning ways. Her many devoted admirers will find this collection full of the charm and humor of her earlier books; and newcomers to her art will be surprised and enchanted by the finesse she brings to this portrait gallery of cats in unusual guises. 32 color illustrations.

Titania, having had her eyes anointed with Oberon's love potion, falls in love with Bottom, the weaver, whose head has been converted into that of an ass by the playful #Puck.

She's happy to have us back home! The last 48 hours were lonely for her while we visited my parents. #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #bibliokitty

I read a post about how cats always sit inside circles (http://boredomtherapy.com/cat-circle-trick/) and proceeded to waste 30 mins trying to get my cat to sit inside various types of circles. Valuable time I could have used to read. I even made a book circle. He gave me a look of disdain and then sat outside the circle. 😂😂 #catsofLitsy

JenP @saresmoore 😂. I hope you have more success (if so post a photo)! My cat always seems to do the opposite of what I want him to do. 7y

Y'all. This NEVER happens anymore since we got Poochie. Juliet stays upstairs and Poochie stays down. But today I was lounging on the couch, reading and playing Supernatural in the background and Juliet snuggled with me for a long time. She and Poochie had a stare down for about 10 minutes, but Juliet stood her ground. I love my kitty. #catsoflitsy

Megabooks Sweet! 💕💕💕 7y

Joybishoptx She is a sweet kitty. I feel awful that she never comes downstairs with me anymore, but she and Poochie do not get along at all! 7y

We've had a ruff weekend, Littens. I got called in to cover a 12 hour call shift on Friday (someone was sick) and so we weren't able to pick up Ember until a day later than we had planned, which means that we've had less time than anticipated to get the kittehs used to one another, especially since I am starting night call. I have been emotional about the whole thing and all I want is a mental health day to read. But not until Dec. 😩🤕

UwannaPublishme Hang in there! 🤗 7y

I mean, you COULD go your whole life without seeing your favorite Shakespearean characters as cats, but why would you want to?
