1. Cat Couture

The runt of the litter, Hummus was diagnosed with feline leukemia when she was just a kitten, but she doesn’t let her health issues get her down. She’s found a way to express herself through fashion. Award-winning photographer — and Hummus’ owner — Jason McGroarty has compiled 30 gorgeous portraits of the feline model in this fun art book. You’ll see her in a variety of one-of-a-kind, handmade costumes that make her a sailor, a queenly kitty and a divine diva, just to name a few. A natural in front of the camera, Hummus also impersonates real people like “Audrey Catburn,” “Frida Catlo” and, of course, “Cleocatra.” Each page features a color photograph with behind-the-scenes commentary from Hummus herself.

Homeless, alcoholic and depressed, Michael King lives in a UPS loading bay in Portland, Oregon. When he stumbles upon a hurt, starving and scruffy cat, he takes her in and names her Tabor. The inseparable duo travels the West Coast together, giving each other comfort. But when Michael takes Tabor to a veterinarian in Montana, he discovers that she has an ID chip and an owner in Portland who hasn’t given up hope. Michael makes the difficult choice to return to Portland and reunite Tabor with her owner as well as create a new purpose in his life without his feline companion. Published by Atria Books.
