Dog-Cat Relationship Book Gives Lessons on Love: Zootoo Pet News takes a look at the newly released book “Frenemies: Cats, Dogs and Lessons in Getting Along.” Through charming photos and timeless adages about life, this coffee table book doesn’t just give insight into the dynamics between cats and dogs, but lessons for us all.
NEW YORK — Tom chases Jerry and it’s an endless adversarial conflict that quite is often what people think of when considering the relationship between dogs and cats — but savvy pet owners know the truth.
In shared households around the world, cats and dogs often play together, eat together and snuggle together. While it may take small, initial adjustments, two of man’s most loyal friends, cats and dogs, are actually capable of getting along better than many think.
Photographer Kim Levin and author Christine Monatquila combine endearing black and white photos of pet pairs with quirky quotes about life in their latest coffee table book,“Frenemies: Cats, Dogs and Lessons in Getting Along.” Giving an inside look at the bond that these animals share with each other, “Frenemies” brings a lighthearted twist to human relationship lessons.
Levin, creator of 17 other pet portrait books — including “Cattitude” and “PhoDOGraphy” — manages to capture the unique personalities and natural spirit of animals which few can bring to life on film.
Advocating for animals and donating her services to groups like the ASPCA and Petfinder.com, she has now expanded her photography business to include children and families. Her most recent venture being her animal inspired greeting card line, “Molly and Fig” for which she also collaborated with Monatquila.
Monatquila who first used her witty sayings for her “Naughty Betty” greeting card line has struck a balance with her clever quips and Levin’s sophisticated pet photos — proving that if cats and dogs can get along, so can the rest of us.
ZT Pet News give “Frenemies” a furry 5 paws up not only because of the beautiful animal photography displayed but because everyone can relate to the catchy words of wisdom that fill the pages. So whether you need a gift for a fellow animal lover or just a charming book to have around the house, “Frenemies” will bring a smile (or a purr) to everyone who reads it!
In addition, we highly recommend the duo’s amusing and equally witty greeting card line “Molly and Fig,” which is appropriate for all ages and has plenty of styles for every occasions.
“Frenemies” and a plethora other books by these authors are available online and at various stores across the country. For more information on the photography and “Molly and Fig” greeting cards, visit KimLevin.com and CalypsoCards.com.
