CAT PEOPLE

Julius Constantine Motal

Cats rule the web, the home, and the public square. And we are more like them than we might suspect: what is life if not an endless pursuit of the phantom red dot, the fleece mouse, the feather on a string? "Cat People" is a visual document of the unique ways we celebrate the feline eternal across cat parties, cat cafes, cat fashion shows, and cat performances throughout a medley of nabes in New York City.
