Shop Cats of New York (Revised and Expanded) [Hardcover]

Humans of New York meets The French Cat in this carefully curated, gorgeous collection featuring photographs of New York’s iconic shop cats and the stories behind them—now including twenty additional shops/cats and updates about the shops from the original edition. 

It’s been almost 10 years since popular cat blogger Tamar Arslanian and renowned cat photographer Andrew Marttila's bookShop Cats of New Yorkcaptured the city's deeply loved and well-cared-for felines reigning over their urban kingdoms. In the years since, some of the featured shops shuttered their doors or moved to new spaces while others said goodbye to their beloved shop cats or welcomed new furry faces. 

This much anticipated revised and expanded edition introduces 45 of New York’s finest cats, 20 of whom are brand-new to this edition and all with extraordinary stories to tell. These fabulous felines inhabit New York City’s most legendary and coziest spots—the Algonquin Hotel, a whiskey distillery, bookstores, bodegas and grocery stores, firehouses, a rubber stamp store, an art supplies store, and everything in between. True New Yorkers—masters of people watching—they perch on wine crates, piles of books, and a classic hotel countertop, taking in the activity around them, judging their peers, and thrilling their enthusiastic admirers.

A celebration of some of the city’s most revered feline citizens and a unique look at New York life, this enchanting, illustrated volume is a must for every cat lover and Big Apple devotee.Tamar Arslanianbuilt her career at several high-profile New York City advertising agencies.
