Cats are great companions. They are a constant source of inspiration and entertainment, and a joy to live with. Cats don't start fights, they don't yell at you and they don't stop talking to you for no reason. They don't take up too much room on the bed (unless you have more than a dozen). And they never, never tell you that you're gaining weight and better watch what you eat (they expect you to return the favor on this one). There are the issues of hairballs and mouse parts—but those we'll set aside.

With all of that in mind, cartoonist and illustrator Stephanie Piro offers My Cat Loves Me Naked, a charming gift book for cat lovers of every stripe.
