1,001 Things You Always Wanted To Know About Cats |
| J. Stephen Lang |
| Why do cats purr? Can they swim if necessary? Why were the ancient Egyptians so taken with cats? (They had at least one cat-headed goddess, and they made mice mummies for their cat mummies.) Why are cats associated with witchcraft – and bad luck? 1,001 Things You Always Wanted to Know About Cats presents brief (one or two paragraphs) information about cats – their habits, their history as pets, myths and legends about them, words and phrases associated with them, how they have been presented in literature, art, pop culture, religion, etc. in such a way that each entry causes readers to react with “Wow, I never knew that!”
