Description

A whimsical and inventive debut, perfect for fans of The Guest Cat and If Cats Disappeared from the World. A young couples daily life is disrupted by their newly adopted cat, who soon initiates them into the wondrous world of felines.

Every cat contains multitudes

When a young couple accidentally comes into possession of a playful kitten, their daily routine (and cramped apartment) is turned upside down. Soon they find their existence forever altered.

Charting the couples ever-evolving relationship with cats some they live with, others who exist only in their imagination Invisible Kitties introduces us to a coterie of extraordinary, physics-defying, death-defying cats.

Invisible Kitties is a meditation on the quiet moments of everyday life and a celebration of cats in all their many forms.
