Cats have long conquered our hearts and homes, the Internet is full of memes and funny or cute videos with cats. According to statistics, every third person is a personal servant of some tailed and mustachioed. But how did this happen?

This book is about how cats domesticated humans and left their traces not only on drying tiles and medieval parchments, but also in the folklore of different peoples.

From the past to the present, from the frescoes of Ancient Egypt to modern memes, historian and social anthropologist Anna Grebennikova will tell the story of how the cat lived ever closer to the strange bald monkey, what animals competed with it and what cats we still remember - real and mythological.
