What is really going on behind thoseluminous feline eyes?
Affectionate yet aloof, intelligentand inquisitive yet dangerouslycareless, the more-or-lessdomesticated house catintrigues us as no other animal can.Now Barbara Holland offers cat loversa fascinating, funny, and refreshinglycandid look at their feline companions: their history, lore, and secrets, and theircomplicated relations with people andwith each other.
Secrets of the Cat is a livelyappreciation of cats as we know andlove them, with witty analysis and freshobservations about felines both high andlow. Here are Winston Churchill's gingertom, who attended cabinet meetings;Teddy Roosevelt's cat, Slippers, whocame to dinner; and even the author'sown George II, who was bitten by amouse and adopted by a blue jay. BarbaraHolland's warm, vivid speculations oncats' lives and times--on their social, psychic, and mythological legacy, and theirimpenetrable mysteries--will give readersa delightful cat's-eye view of the world.
