Overview

"Kitty City is a celebration of Judy Chicago's life with her cats showcasing 36 original watercolours never seen before. The book follows the concept of the Book of Hours - an intricately illustrated private devotional book. Chicago has long been both fascinated and inspired by her feline companions, with Kitty City, she has adopted this classic book format and re-presented it based on the daily cycle of the cats with which she shares her home. Cat lovers will recognize the familiar routine. The day begins with ""6 A.M: Cat Alarm Clocks"" and quickly moves to ""7 A.M: Chowtime"" and 8 A.M: Kitty Clean Up"" The cycle continues through snacks and grooming, naps and play before ending with ""5 AM: Home is Where the Cat Is."" Interspersed among these hourly activities are thought-provoking ""Feline Facts"" and vignettes of the kitty companions that Chicago has lived with since the early 60's when she adopted her first stray kitten."
