Growing up I was in love with a children's book about cats. It was
beautifully illustrated and had poems about cats on each page. It was
a sort of puzzle book too. One of the poems went: "Apple trees are
many, but cat trees are few. So if you find a cat tree this is what
you do. Look up in it's branches and with a steady eye, find all the
cats you see there before you hurry by." It was written sometime
before 1995. I know it's vague but what is the name of this children's
book?

No... these aren't the book. It was more of a large hard cover picture
book. Very colorful and with detailed pictures.
