Wanda Gág's timeless tale follows an old man who is looking for the perfect cat. But when he finds them the cats are all too lovely to leave so he returns with 'hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats'. How will he choose which cat to keep?

This classic picture book appeared in Faber's first ever catalogue in 1929, back to mark the publisher's 90th year. An old man seeks out the ideal cat yet is unable to deny a good home to any of the cats he meets on his quest, faced eventually with trillions of cats and a dilemma.
