Hong Kong's shop cats are the little emperors of their retail kingdoms. When photographer Marcel Heijnen moved to the city he was immediately drawn to these photogenic mouse-catchers, and this book is the charming result. While the cats are undoubtedly the furry celebrities of his photographs, each shot delivers an insightful context to Hong Kong's busy trades. From dried fish and rice to paper offerings, the shots' backgrounds present local culture in all its cramped and colourful chaos.
