For fans of Shop Cats of Hong Kong and all other cat people, we have great news – the album Shop Cats of China, full of extremely atmospheric photos of cats from tiny shops and streets of Chinese cities. The photos are introduced by a mini-essay on cats in Chinese culture by Catharine Nicol.

The photos are accompanied by funny and ironic haiku poems, which serve as a perfect commentary to the depicted scenes.
