Zijn eersteling, Silenus Alcibiadis, is een emblematabundel, - en wat voor één! Adriaan van de Venne ontwierp de afbeeldingen en de levendigheid, beeldingskracht en frisheid daarvan is in de hele zeventiende eeuw niet meer geëvenaard. Het werk bestond in de eerste uitgave uit drie delen, waarin Cats dezelfde reeks van 51 platen door middel van andere teksten achtereenvolgens op de liefde, het maatschappelijk leven en de godsdienst toepaste. Hans van der Hellen, de Middelburgse uitgever, verzorgde twee edities, die op een speciale manier aan elkaar gerelateerd zijn. De eerste [1618] is heel luxe; daarin worden in de delen twee en drie de gravures opnieuw afgedrukt. De tweede [as in our copy] is iets eenvoudiger: in het tweede en derde deel zijn de platen vervangen door extra Latijnse en Nederlandse citaten van allerlei auteurs, zonder overigens aan de rest van het zetsel iets te wijzigen."

Dies geschah zu einem Zeitpunkt, als der Ritenstreit drohte, das idealisierte Chinabild der Missionare zu verdunkeln und Zweifel an Sinn und Methode des Missionswerkes zu wecken."
