Delight your favorite cat person with this adorable, illustrated book of 55 feline sayings and how they came to be!

Who’s in the catbird seat? What’s new, pussycat? Cat got your tongue?

When cats entered our lives, they also entered our lexicon—inspiring famous writers and wordsmiths as well as immortal sayings that have lasted for centuries. In The Colloquial Cat, amateur historian Philippa Sandall dives deep to deliver the backstory behind 50 famous feline phrases. Plus, adorable vintage art and photographs add charm and insight throughout.

By the end, you’ll be grinning like the cat who ate the canary.
