Book Overview
Mews and Views for The Curious Cat Lover may provide chuckles, awe, and some surprising answers
Like the legend of cats having nine lives, beliefs have persisted throughout the centuries that cats' spirits may outlive death. The spirit world of prehistoric cave artists may offer clues about our human-feline connections.
Arguably one of nature's most efficient predators, cats have also become our loving friends, even soulmates. Evolved from wild desert felines, perhaps even bred to be gentler and small enough to be human companions, our feline pets carry mysteries deep within their inscrutable selves.
Librarian Elyse Cregar takes the reader on a journey of imagination to the cave artists and possible movie-makers of 30,000 years ago. With a few bites about lion species thrown in, these short articles include commentary on why cats are fascinated with boxes. Where did those adorable cushioned feline slippers on your cat's paws come from? When and why were they sometimes sheathed in gold?
So invite your pet to join you in your easy chair as you read. And as she gently kneads your arm, remember, she has chosen you to be her companion, your home to be her haven. As for her ancestral behaviors, watch her play. Watch her study you with those brilliant, intelligent eyes. Exchange a slow blink or two with her: a sign of mutual trust? Yet, her thoughts may forever remain a mystery to her human companions.
