‘A magazine for cat people’
From the same all-women team behind Broccoli, this best-selling magazine delivers everything the cat-lover needs. It is, indeed, catnip, from the gloss varnish paw prints on the cover—revealed when held up to the light—to the abundance of adorable kitties inside.
It’s been almost three years now since the debut issue of Catnip first dug it’s claws into us, and this long-anticipated sophomore edition is not loosening its grip. As exquisitely collectible as the last, this issue celebrates the fortuitous ‘serendipity’ of the Cat Distribution System. Whether you’re a lover of ‘happy, lazy, inquisitive, clingy, skeptical’ or ‘benignly nefarious’ cats, inside you’ll find something for every breed.
Highlights include a feature on London’s highest purrforming ‘Cat’s About Town’—from Church dwellers to hotel ateliers—accompanied by interviews with their employers; an ode to the toe bean; a day in the life of Pard the cat, excerpted from Ursula K. Le Guin’s ‘My Life So Far’; a bite sized history of the cool cats of Antarctica; plus, an A5 ‘tabbyloid’ insert. And cats, cats and even more cats. Meow!
