Albert Schweitzer said, "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." Not everyone feels that way, of course. With cats there is no middle ground. Either one loves them or one does not. But it's all academic to our master cover artists who have borrowed from both pro and con to come up with their amusing cat images.

Whether it's a night out on the prowl, an ear-rending midnight spat, or a surprise cache of precious kittens, each cover captures the subject to purrrfection. A search of our archives has turned up cats and kittens a-plenty. So grab a ball of yarn and join in the fun.
