A long history of myth and superstition surrounds the cat. its solitary nature, demanding personality and secret nightlife set it apart from all other domestic animlas, while its beauty, charm and eguiling character have secured it a very special relationship with human beings. For centuries, cats have intrigued us, amused us and delighted us, inspiring writers, artists and sculptors from ancient Egypt to twenty-first century London.
With help from the latest cientific reserach and beautifully illustrated images from the British Museum's superb collection and beyond, this delightful book is a celebration of the cat from the temple to the home that gives new insight to the life of our most charming and mysterious animal companion.
