This book examines the social world of the cat fancy, or the
leisure activity of breeding and exhibiting pedigree cats. Based on
multispecies ethnographic fieldwork and interviews in the United
Kingdom, it explores the process and performance of exhibiting cats
at shows, the breeding practices and discourses integral to the
creation of pedigree breeds, and the relations that these practices
generate between human guardians, the pedigree cat population, and
non-pedigree cats. Through observation with cat fanciers and their
interactions with their cats, the author investigates the social
dynamics and relationships that form within the fancy, considering
the interconnections between biopower and eugenics in pedigree
breeding, the practices of pet keeping and the complexities of
more-than-human care, and the implications of involvement for the
cats themselves. As such, Cat People: Human-Cat Interrelatedness in
the Cat Fancy will appeal to scholars from across the social
sciences and humanities interested in human-animal interactions,
multispecies leisure, anthrozoology, and more-than-human care.
