Book description
Shop Cats of New York (Revised and Expanded)
By Tamar Arslanian
If you've ever wondered who truly runs the streets of Manhattan, look no further than this gorgeously updated volume that pairs "Humans of New York" with a feline twist. The first edition already made waves for its eye-popping photographs and heartwarming stories, but the new release takes everything up a notch-introducing 45 cats in all, 20 of them brand-new to the pages.
The book feels like a love letter to the city's quirky corners: from the Algonquin Hotel's polished lobby to a quiet bodega on a bustling block. Each cat is presented with the same intimacy that made the original so beloved-short vignettes about their personalities, how they came to be part of the shop's daily rhythm, and the little rituals that endear them to locals. Whether perched atop wine crates at a distillery or lounging beside stacks of books in an independent bookstore, these felines seem to embody the very essence of New York: observant, unbothered, and ever-ready to charm.
What's most compelling is how the book captures change without losing its core spirit. Some shops have closed or relocated; some cats have been replaced by new companions. Yet the stories remain vivid, showing that the relationship between people and their shop cats is as dynamic as the city itself. The photographs are crisp and full of texture-every fur strand, every gleam in a cat's eye-making you feel like you're standing right beside them.
For anyone who loves cats or has ever dreamed of wandering through New York's hidden nooks, this book offers both nostalgia and fresh discoveries. It is not just a catalog; it's an invitation to see the city through whiskered eyes, to appreciate the quiet power of these feline guardians that quietly rule their urban kingdoms. A must-have for cat lovers, city buffs, and anyone who enjoys a charming blend of photography, storytelling, and urban charm.
