Cat lovers, the wait is over. A zany new book of photography features a feisty feline named AC posing in an array of outrageous handmade costumes. The Best Cat Book Ever: Super-Amazing, 100% Awesome is Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design graduate Kate Funk’s first dive into publication, and it is packed with more than 100 pages of posed photos of an adorable furry friend dressed as everything from a ninja to a garden gnome and a unicorn. Readers will be impressed with Funk’s ability to convince her cat to pose in such outrageous outfits, as well as her creativity in both costume design and the art of photography.
Funk earned her BFA in photography from MIAD and makes her home in Milwaukee with her pet cat AC. She will appear at Boswell Book Co. at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9, accompanied by full-color slides of AC decked out in a unique, never-before-seen assortment of costumes.
