Cat is art spelled wrong

Cat is art spelled wrong / Essays by various authors, 171 pages.

Raise your hand if you think there are still not enough cat videos available online.  This collection of essays discusses cat vids as art, cat vids as time wasters and everything else you can think of about cats and the videos we obsessively watch.  Much of what can be said about cats also includes personal history, poetics, memes, Instagram, community, politics, celebrity and what makes a cat the cutest despots.

The idea for this book started with the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and their Internet Cat Video Festival.  The festival has been around for years now and shared with other museums.  To the shock of all involved, the first festival was a huge hit and each subsequent very well attended.

Lets face it, in addition to ruling the internet, cats also pretty much rule the world!
