Cat traces the relationship between humans and the cat from its
original domestication in ancient Egypt c. 2000 BC, through the
centuries as a utilitarian rodent catcher, its gradual acceptance
as a charming and amiable pet, and its present status as a
companion on a par with the dog. Long before people valued cats,
however, they recognized something special about them. Their
graceful, fluid movements, and their self-detachment even as they
live in our homes, seems to indicate strange, even supernatural
powers. The peculiar fascination of the cat, indeed, is the
diversity of images it projects - at once sweet and ferocious,
affectionate and independent, elegant and earthy, cosily domestic
and eerie. This highly illustrated book, now available in B-format,
has a great deal to offer the enormous number of people who like
and are interested in cats. Unlike many other cat books, it offers
substantial and accurate information about the history of cats and
their presentation in literature and art.
