Statistics show that more and more people are adopting cats. What magic does this animal possess?
A cat transforms returning to an empty house into a homecoming, and today we have every reason to believe that this furry little predator will become the pet of the future. Videos featuring cats are undisputed leaders on social media, garnering millions of views worldwide, as feline charm is a universal language that requires no translation.
Human love for felines is rooted in both our own and their distant histories. For example, did you know that Egyptian women shaved their heads and wore mourning when their cat died? Or that adopting a distinguished cat from the Hermitage Museum's mouse-catching army grants free admission to the museum? Or that in the early 20th century, New York newspapers published stories about these cats alongside news of major political events?
On this journey through the world of cats, you'll learn about the legendary Siamese cats in Thai temples, the "politician" cats of Downing Street, Ernest Hemingway's six-toed pets, the feline citizens of Rome who were allowed to climb monuments, and even about the heroic felines who fought in naval and land battles.
This book contains a thousand and one adventures of these amazing creatures that have fascinated humanity for ten thousand years. The Egyptians considered cats sacred, and legend has it that the Prophet Muhammad cut off the sleeve of his robe, not wanting to disturb a cat sleeping on it. There are countless stories about cats, and not all of them fit within the cover of this charming book. But the authors have certainly created enough to melt any cat-loving heart!
