John Craxton adopted cats wherever he roamed. And they shared the crumbling house on the Cretan harbour of Chania which became his home from 1960. He loved their playfulness and self-contained elegance – as will be shown in a beautifully illustrated book, Craxton's Cats, by Andrew Lambirth and Richard Riley, to be published by Thames & Hudson in September.
