Cats with Guns - Hardcover

Strawberries and cream. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Of all the great duos, surely it's the combination of cats with guns that has been most overlooked. From the happy marriage of the eyes of a Siamese cat and the telescopic sights of an SA-80 to the tailless Manx cat and a stubby submachine gun, Cats with Guns celebrates the best in felines and firearms. Including more than 40 photomontages of cats with rifles, revolvers, pistols, automatic and semi-automatic firearms, Cats with Guns also features background information on the specifications of the gun, its history and where it has been used. From Norwegian forest cats sporting Uzis on shoulder straps to a Japanese Bobtail taking aim with a Martini-Henry rifle to Bengal cats with their paws at the trigger of a Kalashnikov, there is something for every lover of armed cats. They say cats have nine lives. These cats are prepared to put that to the test.
