1. The Cat's Meow
A lively synthesis of biology, history and culture that follows how cats evolved from small wild felids into the companion animals that share our homes today, explaining their anatomy, senses and behavior and how those traits shaped—and were shaped by—their relationship with humans; it traces the origins of domestication, the genetic and selective processes that produced diverse breeds, the communicative repertoire that endears them to people, and the ecological and conservation challenges that accompany their global spread, all while exploring why cats occupy such a peculiar place in human imagination and daily life.
