About this title

Synopsis

Love is a battlefield. And who better to give advice on how to win than your favorite four-legged egomaniac. Here, writer Christine Montaquila and photographer Kim Levin tap into the no-nonsense, all-feline perspective on why a little chutzpah goes a long way when it comes to commitment. In Catrimony, Montaquila and Levin again spend some revealing face-time with these domesticated divas, getting them to spill the goods on making romance work. The sequel to their immensely successful Cattitude, their new book of choice quotes and telling photos takes things to the next level. Where that earlier volume focused on snaring a member of the opposite sex, this one concentrates on keeping the upper hand when you do.

Catrimony’s “interviewees” don’t believe in sugarcoating. “Know when to give your unconditional indifference,” counsels one love-scarred veteran. “Don’t be afraid to play the hormonal card,” suggests another. And for those who like to live on the edge, the advice is simple: “Hide the videotape.” “Stay totally devoted to your alibi.” Its 40 duotone photographs, faux jewel– studded cover, and deliciously catty sense of humor make Catrimony the perfect holiday, bridal shower, or Valentine’s Day gift.
