Striking color photos of members of the cat family, both wild and tame, accompany a kaleidoscope of minutia--including cat ancestors (the dinictis, hoplophoneus, and miacis), mythology (Egyptian, Buddhist, Aztec, Mochica), contemporary breeds (Rex, Siamese, Birman), cats in literature and art, anatomy, feral cats, and cat care.
Text and photographs present the anatomy, behavior, habitats, and other aspects of wild and domestic cats.
