Joycelyn Bouquillard.
Cats of Japan: Woodblock Prints by Hokusai, Hiroshige and Other Artists, Second Edition.

Aya Kusch.
Cats in Spring Rain: A Celebration of Feline Charm in Japanese Art and Haiku.
San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2022.
[Publisher; GoodReads.com; Amazon.com.]
These two are mainly picture books. The text is very limited; Bouquillard and Kusch have relative short introductions: 13 pages and 2 pages, respectively; otherwise the text merely identifies the artists and their works. However, notably, Aya Kusch translated the haiku in her book.

In contrast to the books by Bouquillard and Kusch, the book by Rhiannon Paget that I read previously is a far more thorough consideration of Japanese art and the appearance of cats in a broad range of art forms over the full course of Japan's more than 2,000 years of history.
