"I have always thought I was extremely lucky to be able to spend my days consumed with my two favourite passions: photography and animals. In my eyes it's truly the best job in the world, but now I have added France to the equation."

At once touching, ethereal and warm, Rachael McKenna's unique viewpoint has made her one of the most successful animal photographers in the world today. When she recently embarked on a new life in France, it was inevitable that she would turn her insatiable photographer's lens to capturing the unexplored world around her. The French Cat is the result: atmospheric and glowing images of the countryside, buildings and feline inhabitants of France. Rachael's intense feeling for her subject matter positively radiates from her images, delivering a book which is a joyful and uplifting visual tapestry, bound together in an exquisite padded hardcover format. Rachael's beautiful images are accompanied by her own narrative, making this a heartfelt personal record of her journey of discovery.

    Comments about The French Cat:

    Beautiful photos capture the essence of France and it's architecture and gardens and to have a cat in each is perfect! Would make an excellent gift for cat lovers of all ages.

      This is a really beautiful book that I highly recommend for gift giving as well as lounge room viewing with a glass of wine yourself. It would appeal to people who love photography, travel, France, cats or just beautiful images! I have bought four copies so far!
