 Beautiful photographsJan 31, 2010
This book is on my coffee table and people who come over pick it up again and again, in spite of themselves. We love cats anyway, so seeing them in this setting is touching. The introduction is well-written and gives a lot of insight into the cats' relationships to each other and to the Greeks. It is pleasant to read (with little paw prints on it) but the book is about the photography. And the photography, being also about the architecture of the Greek islands, is amazing.
Cats in the Sun CalendarJan 30, 2009
The photos on this calendar are always wonderful in their presentation, color and subject matter. If you are an art lover and a cat lover...this calendar is for you.

Because the Cat Purrs: How We Relate to Other Species and Why It Matters
Cats in the Sun is a photographic delight--cats strolling, cats climing, cats snoozing, cats with kittens, cats of all colors, cats, cats, cats. It will make the reader purr.

My annual treatOct 28, 2008
Every year around this time I try to find the latest Cats in the Sun calendar in my local bookstores but only find cloying pictures of kittens, so I turn to Amazon. Having these calendars on my wall is the closest I can come to sophisticated photographs of my favorite subject matter, and on cold San Francisco days the sun-drenched locale is warming.

Hans Silvester's Cats in the SunJan 14, 2008
Hans Silvester captures not just cats, but the Mediterranean ambience in these gorgeous photos. His years spent photographing and learning about these felines are apparent. The color and composition of his photos is amazing. He has chosen to show us the real cats...not some cute, little, studio-posed furball. These are cats in their natural habitat going about their daily routines. This is a must have for cat lovers.
