Review
"Every lover of cats should own this book...the best single treatise on the cat, spiritually rather than biologically considered, that we have ever seen."--"Chicago Evening Post"
""The Tiger in the House" is absolutely fascinating. As a matter of fact, it is a treasure house. The little scraps of literary gossip in it alone make it absolutely indispensable for anyone who likes to explore the hedgy bypaths of an author's life and thoughts. I wouldn't be without it for anything."--"Chicago Tribune

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an engaging and insightful exploration of the cat, an animal that has captivated human imagination for centuries. The author dives into the complex and often contradictory nature of cats, examining their physical traits, behavioral patterns, and place in human culture. The author's unique approach is to challenge prevailing opinions about cats, which are often based on generalizations and misinterpretations of their behavior. Drawing upon a wealth of historical anecdotes, literary references, and personal observations, the book demolishes common stereotypes about cats, revealing their intelligence, resourcefulness, and independent spirit. The author highlights the fascinating differences between individual cats, arguing that each feline possesses a distinct personality and set of traits, making them as diverse and complex as human beings. This book offers a nuanced and engaging perspective on a creature that has been both revered and vilified throughout history, revealing the cat as a creature of both mystery and charm. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
