Holy Cats was created and drawn by Andy Warhol's mother, Julia Warhola (1891-1972) in memory of her cat, Hester. Warhola sketched the line drawings and created the cursive captions in her own hand comically illustrating the great variety of feline personalities. The captioned drawings are each printed on colored paper totaling twenty pages plus original cover image. The book was privately printed one time in 1954 in a small edition.
