At least that&#8217;s what I tell myself before the beatings start.<\/p>\n<p>This book focuses on cats in the workplace, mostly in New York City, in 1979.  It&#8217;s worth more for the backgrounds of the workplaces than the cats in the foreground.  A liquor store that Ed McBain would have described.  The window of a bodega looking out on the New York street.  Broadway full of 1970s cars.  That sort of thing.  I think I&#8217;m turning into James Lileks.  Moreso.  Of course, I&#8217;m not scanning them and making a Web site dedicated to them.  Yet.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you like kitties, this book has them.  No chinchillas, though.<\/p>\n<p><center><b>Books mentioned in this review:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=stlbrianj-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=0397013760\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It takes a strong man to buy a book of photography depicting cats and then to admit it on his blog, publically.
