Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs

This book changed my life. When it was released in 2009, I ordered a copy immediately. I was so excited and delighted the day it arrived, that I *HAD* to take it along with me on my dinner date to show my boyfriend of six months. Sadly, he was not amused. Even though he was well aware of and claimed to fully accept my crazy cat lady-ness (he put up with me talking about cats all the time, and knew that my cat and I came as a "bundled pair"), he angrily growled, "After a long day of work, I do NOT want to look at cats in wigs at dinner!!" My heart deflated. I knew then and there that he was not boyfriend to keep -- we obviously had conflicting senses of humor.I keep this book prominently located on my bookshelf, or on my coffee table . . . and it brings much amusement to my family and friends that visit. This book has also motivated me to make my own foray into photographing my cat in cat-sized wigs. I have had modest success. It's definitely a two-person process -- one person to nonchalantly and gently plop the wig on my cat's head, and a friend to quickly snap photos before my cat becomes annoyed and shakes it off. It's now become an annual tradition at my cat's birthday party to try to get a photo of her with a wig.In short . . . this is a wonderful book. Helpful in weeding out those in your life with no sense of humor with respect to cats and an inspiration for my own photography endeavors. I praise Julie Jackson in her unusual creative undertaking; and praise Chronicle Books for seeing that a market exists for quirky cat humor books.

I bought this as used, very good - a gift for a cat loving friend. On the inside of the front cover, there is an inscription in ink from someone to the previous owner. Now I am stuck with a book of cats in wigs.

This book is a must for all cat lovers, crazy cat ladies, and wig wear-ers alike! Very nicely put together. It's glossy and bigger than I thought. The phrases for each cat are witty and funny. Put it on your coffe table or on top of your human litter box. The author has an amazing way with words..check out her other stuff, unless you have no sense of humor or do t like to laugh.

What a fun, delightful book! The photos are amazing and I love the stories (very tongue-in-cheek) that go with the photos-- all in a spirit of playfulness. I want to get my cats some kitty wigs, but I doubt they'd pose like these cats. If you're a cat-lover (or know one) or just an animal lover in general, check out this book! Great wigs, by the way.

Ordered this for my feline nephews. The report I got from my sister said they loved it. Percy and Casey found it magical and memorizing and read it daily.

Beautiful book. Great quality. It was a great gift for our white elephant gift exchange. The recipients were confused at first but then fell in love with the precious cat models and their bios in the book.

gave this as a gift and it went over really well! such a cute mix of kitties.Honestly the photos could be seen a million times and still be cute.I was surprised how many photos there were

Love it. I bought a cat wig to go with it and used it as my company white elephant gift.

Fantastic book. Lovely photos and makes me laugh everytime i look at it. Now has pride of place on my coffee table😀

This book is perfect for a coffee table book. I promise that you can't scan through this book without repressing a smile or two of these colorful kitty wigs. Also excellent gift material for a good buddy.

How could anyone not like this book? An easy 5 stars.

Wer Katzen mag und über ihre Eigenheiten lachen kann, der sollte sich dieses durchaus etwas trashige Buch kaufen. Hier sind viele Lacher garantiert!

Un livre à conseiller à tous ceux qui aiment les Lolcats, version girly et mignonne, l'auteur a photographié ses propres chats en leur fabriquant des perruques sur mesure XD dérisoire et tellement drôle! Ce livre a été un cadeau réussi!
