Synopsis

This is Desmond Morris's first new book on cats since his popular classics Catwatching and Catlore, and he brings to it all his wit and erudition. Every famous cat, both real and imaginary, makes an appearance. There's Trixie, who voluntarily shared the Earl of Southampton's captivity in the Tower of London; Nelson, who performed a vital role during World War II as Churchill's foot-warmer; and stars like Orangey, who played a central role in Breakfast at Tiffany's. There are the felines of magic and make-believe, from Macavity to Graymalkin, even cartoon cats, like Felix and Sylvester. Illustrated throughout with photos, paintings, and engravings, this captivating tome also profiles some of history's most famous cat lovers.
