Welcome to the new "crazy cat lady."

Once a dowdy, eccentric figure with at least a dozen cats shedding hair on every available surface, today she's a hip-at-any-age woman who knows an unassailable truth: Cats are awesome! And she declares her kitty love with pride, humour, and - like her cats - an irresistible dose of sass. Her tote bag is stocked with lint rollers and catnip. All her photos get the #catlady or #crazycatlady hashtags. And she's not alone - each tag has over 4 million posts on Instagram!

With clever text by Ester Scholten and utterly charming artwork by Agnes Loonstra (a regular Flow illustrator), Crazy Cat Lady is a celebration of the quirky, relatable, and instantly recognisable habits of devoted feline fans. There are mottos for the perpetually fur-covered: Cat hair, don't care. Quotes for the owners who know the more the merrier: "Cats are like glasses of wine. You can't have just one." Flowcharts on what to name your kitten. "How to draw a cat" tutorials.

Fun facts: Did you know that a cat has 230 bones in its body, more than you? And portraits of crazy cat ladies through history, from Florence Nightingale to Katy Perry (whose cat is named Kitty Purry). At an impulse-friendly price, this sweetly edgy little book has the fresh outlook on cat fanaticism the modern feline lover has been waiting for.
