About This Book

Tortiseshell, tuxedo, marmalade or mackerel tabby - the cats that live on the streets of Singapore come in all colours, shapes and sizes. Some are friendly and approachable while others are truly feral. Whatever their nature, their distinct personalities are evident to cat admirers and to photographer Bian Huibin. A Singapore-based art director, Bian confesses to being a little fearful of felines. Nevertheless he finds them irresistible. His photo album features numerous non-pedigree cats in everyday situations - feeding, grooming, climbing, lounging and of course, staring. Despite their grubby faces, these cats are effortlessly elegant and deserving of their "sidewalk beauties" label.
