Desiderata for Cat Lovers is a delightful end table book, illustrating the well-known poem by Max Ehrmann with pictures of cats and kittens that reflect what each stanza is calling on to.
The introduction explains that Desiderata is a Latin term for “things that are yearned for.” And, as the subtitle of the book explains, the poem is “a guide to life and happiness.” The introduction also gives a history of the poem.
The poem is an encouraging look at life, though some Christians (and others), might be put off by Ehrmann recommending belief in God, “whatever you conceive him to be.” But, I hope one can get past that, appreciate the poem for its wisdom and for the pictures that accompany it.
Recommended for all cat-lovers and those who should love cats.
