Each title in the "Eyewitness" series is an informative, visual account of the wonders of the world around us. Illustrated with colour photographs of objects from the natural world, from specialist museums and from rare private collections, the series offers a fresh approach to the mysteries of nature, history, science, arts, crafts and pastimes. This collection of specially commissioned photographs presents a detailed survey of cats, their lives, habits and ancestry. This book examines the mystery and beauty of cats looking at their role in civilization, domestication, breeding and natural history.

Full-color photos. Take a look at the evolution, anatomy, and behavior of those fabulous felines--how they were revered by the ancient Egyptians and then reviled during the Middle Ages, why they nearly always land on their feet when they fall, and how the most cuddly house cat resembles its fiercest wild relative. "This is a browser's delight that will also appeal to the serious reader seeking facts about cats."--(starred) Science Books & Films.
