Catnip returns! Broccoli’s all-time best-selling magazine is back, and Volume 2 is just as catty and collectable as Volume 1. This fresh assemblage of stories, art, and reporting celebrating cats and their people will charm anyone who has ever stopped to pat a friendly stray, snuck off to commune with a friend’s felines, or oohed and ahhed over a shop cat.

Inside this issue: Ursula K. Le Guin sees the world through a kitten’s eyes • Claire L. Evans digs into why we want to talk to cats • Lauren Cochrane and Rebecca Thomas tail the working cats of London • and Kathryn Hughes explores Louis Wain’s cat obsession.

Plus: Lost cat posters with happy endings • the world’s foremost collector of Siamese cat objets • the true story behind Why Cats Paint • online cat dialects • ancient Chinese cat contracts • the mysteries of toe beans • how cats get their names • cryptid beasts • Antarctic feline explorers • a trashy “tabbyloid,” • and much more.
