Who doesn't enjoy a quick, quiet cat nap? These sleeping cat figurines made in Japan in the late 19th to early 20th century look so cute and cozy. A very special thank you to Sandy Lerner for making this exhibition possible. See "Caticons: The Cat in Art" is on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/Caticons
