Felines of New York by Jim Tews

Felines of New York by Jim Tews

Featuring more than 100 photos and quotes from cats in America's most glamorous city, Felines of New York exposes the furry underbelly of New York City's most glamorous, self-important residents.

Where New York humans are accomplished, interesting, thoughtful, creative, and even sometimes tragic figures, the cats are simply cats. They do not stand in line for brunch, or have season tickets to the Met, or go indoor-rock climbing in Brooklyn. They do not shop at thrift stores or nibble finger sandwiches at the Russian Tea Room. And they certainly do not give a flying f*ck about the Yankees.

No, the felines of New York bathe, purr, bask languidly in the sun, and occasionally cast baleful glances at the humans who provide them food and shelter. They are proof that behind every New Yorker, there lays a cat just waiting to destroy their IKEA futon and then eat their faces off when they die.

In 2014, Jim Tews made his stand-up television debut on Last Comic Standing, and he was also featured in a Louie episode. He was formerly one of Just for Laughs Montreal's New Faces in 2011 and has appeared at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, and the SF Sketchfest. He recently created, cowrote, and starred in The Undone Sweaters online series, which was featured on Funny or Die and Nerdist.com and was about a sociophobic Weezer cover band. He also developed the web series The Opener for HBO Labs and just directed Make Fun, a feature-length documentary about Cleveland's independent comedy culture. Felines of New York is his debut book and, in many ways, his crowning effort.
