I love a good coffee table book and Queer Icons and Their Cats is an awesome addition to my collection.

Alison Nastasi and PJ Nastasi put together an interesting menage of artists, some I didn’t even know were queer. I think I love the older photos the most. Anthony Perkins' photo is really arty and fun. Josephine Baker’s picture is with a tiger(?) and is staged intimacy. Ramon Navorro’s portrait is from the studio and is beyond cute. I love the curiosity displayed by Đebo with Mima Simić.

There are casual images, posed, and studio prints. The biographies are interesting and worth bookmarking to talk about with others.

I am so happy that I get to see my love of cats along with my fellow queers celebrated.

I loved this book. It was part biographical anthology and part cat hype, and both parts were tied together perfectly. Fascinating and so cute!

YAY GAYSSSS and also cats haha. Beside the gorgeous kitties I liked this for the interesting stories about each person and learning some of their history

I loved this! I need to buy physical copies for myself and all my friends. Queer folk and cats--what's not to love?

As it say on the tin this was a book full of photos of Queer Icons and their feline furbabies. Perfect for a nosy cat lover and a great insight into celebrity cat lovers.
Good mix of media, I will always want more pictures but this book was very balanced which worked in its favour.
Some interesting facts and quotes and a good coffee table book.

The cats and the icons in this book are amazing, inspiring, and gorgeous.
This is a great read for anyone, and sure to inspire great conversations about the icons, their cats, and what they've done to bring even more to the world.

This book is full of queer icons and gorgeous cats! As a cat mom and queer person, this book seemed made for me! What a wonderful celebration of some amazing people and their four-legged companions! I’m excited to buy a copy once it’s out!

Fascinating concept, because I love both queer icons as well as cats. A niche book that would look good on the coffee table. A real conversation starter.

You put Jujubee on the cover and I will drop everything to read this book! Queer Icons and Their Cats is a nice coffee table book with wonderful photos. It would make a great gift and is definitely a book I would flip through again and again.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Interesting book with Queer Icons and their cats. How could you go wrong.

This book showcases the cat loving heart of artists in their most natural environments. Their descriptions bring you in and make you at home. If you love cats as well you'll appreciate the ease between feline and human and be validated in your own love. Some of these people I was not aware of before reading this book and am pleased to have been introduced in this way.

As a cat lover and a queer person, this book spoke to me on a spiritual level. I loved the great selection of artists and performers featured within the pages from classic silent movie heart throbs to current comedians. It was great to hear about people who were familiar and to see them in a new lense through their relationships with their cats. Even more though I enjoyed hearing about queer icons that I hadn’t encountered before, learning about new people to read about further (easy to do with the handy booklist included in the back of the book.)

Perfect coffee table book for fans of queers, cats, or both together.

An interesting book: I get to know some new to me queer icons and loved the photos of them with their felines.Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

It’s self explanatory. Queer Icons and Their Cats are really queer icons and their cats. We’ve got Chaz Bono, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, James Baldwin, Jujubee and so many more. It’s more of something to buy and keep it on top of a coffee table if you know what I mean— like them fashion magazines. Still enjoyed it.

Queer Icons and their Cats by Alison Nastasi & PJ Nastasi

Snapshots and brief biographical sketches of new and well known queer icons…with their furry feline friends. This book has forty or more personalities with even more cats photographed with them. I met authors, musicians, artists, actors, poets, philosophers, film critics, models, directors…and more and all love and adore their pets just as their cats love their humans. Great for a coffee table, as a gift for a cat loving queer friend, or for anyone interested in a glimpse into the lives of any or all of the people in this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

4-5 Stars

The title says it all: you have these queer icons past and present, they are photographed with their cats, and you get a little story to go along with the picture.

I have a bookshelf at home populated with books about cats, this one has definitely earned its placed among those titles.

An interesting coffee table book about famous LGBT people and their relationships with felines. Some of the pictures are delightfully beautiful.

A beautiful coffee table style book. I liked the variety in icons featured and learning more about their relationships with their cats. The cover photo is absolutely gorgeous too! I will certainly be giving this one as a gift in the future.

I was super excited about this coffee table book and it is more or less what it promised. I loved the photos, but the text was fairly boring at times. I ended up skimming the second half of the book. It'd be great to keep on your coffee table and flip through occasionally, but don't sit down to read the whole thing at once. It felt like different people wrote the different mini bios. Overall, it was okay. It'd definitely be a fun conversation starter to have at home though!

Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
