In Please Take Me Home, Clare Campbell takes us on a journey with
the nation's rescue cats, from being treated as pests throughout
history to being the pet of choice today. For a long time, stray
cats in Britain were seen as a nuisance and hunted down as vermin.
Having invited this wild, independent creature into our homes,
humans did not extend their welcome for long. Over time, thousands
of cats were subsequently abandoned and left to live on the margins
of survival. There were, however, the kind few who sought to help.
But these good spirited people were often scorned, even derided as
'mad'. A Princess of Wales was even told to stop helping lost cats
in order to avoid a royal scandal; the story was kept a secret of
state for years. It would take over a century for strays to become
the beloved rescue cats of today, with some now gaining celebrity
status, such as Downing Street's Larry or Street Cat Bob. Please
Take Me Home is a fascinating and insightful history through the
ages of the struggle for cats to exist in domesticity alongside
mankind.
