Cats have been worshipped, hunted, petted, and puzzled over for as long as they have deigned to live with us. Charles Ross gathers their history, folklore, breeds, and antics into an affectionate and often funny miscellany. A treasury for anyone who has ever been ignored by a cat. Curl up with the most companionable book about the least obedient pet.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
