, from the perspective of Klimt's loyal cat, Katze, who narrates the story. The story reveals rich information on a new form of art as Klimt travels with Katze to different places and works with many models. Katze describes Klimt's unique artistic styles, his dedication and hard work, and the true expression he achieved throughout his art. The illustrations on each page represent Klimt's unique creative styles. One of his most well-known paintings shows a couple in love, using brushes of gold with flowers and other richly colored objects. Klimt, who likes to create new styles of art, unknowingly teaches Katze to try new things. Throughout Klimt's life, Katze is there as friend and companion.
