Following a short history of the domestication of the cat, the book addresses fifteen common beliefs or sayings about felines--they have nine lives, can sense an earthquake before it happens, have difficulty coming down trees, and so on. Cartoonlike, often comical, artwork illustrates each point. Some of the information, including interpretations of the meaning of tail and ear positions, will help cat owners better understand their pets.
