Modern cats trace their roots to wild cats in ancient times, and were once tamed by people to watch mice from cereals. Cats are the most familiar animals with human along with dogs. They are usually living at any places in the world where people live, and there are as many cat-lovers as cats living all over the world.

Cat-lovers are able to notice cats quickly when looking at photographs. It is happy to find cats in the photographs, and so do cat persons at the gallery. Pictures of photographed cats seem special to us. Listing up photographs of cats little by little for several years, we find ourselves that it has been enough photographs to have an exhibition.

There are various relationships between photographers and cats, also various photographed cats by photographers, landscape with cats, snapshots of cats, portraits of cats, life with cats, and so on.

 

Around 60 photographs by various photographers are shown.
