‘Flying cats’? Here's a book all about them

 

Holy flying feline photos! Now would be a purr-fect time for cat lovers to shell out $11 (about P500) for a photo book on flying cats, which will debut this week in Japan.

 

Tokyo-based publisher Kadokawa Magazine is coming out with the book featuring more than 100 photos of flying cats, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, February 16.

 

The flying feline photos are the work of Kenta Igarashi who, along with his art, has become popular in Japan and abroad, the WSJ said.

 

All photos in the 96-page book were taken in areas near the sea, including a port town in Chiba prefecture, WSJ quoted the publisher as saying.

 

WSJ said the book features more than 100 photos of cats "diving, jumping and leaping from wall to wall, roof to roof and even between two floating boats."

 

And the title? "Tobi-Neko," a rough translation of “flying cats.”

 

The WSJ report quoted a Kadokawa spokeswoman as saying they are not sure if Igarashi’s book is the first ever to be published featuring “flying” cats. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
