Download or read book The Casebook of Mysterious Morris written by John Melia and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative poems comprising 'The Casebook of Mysterious Morris' explore a parallel world where cats contend with their own disasters, successes and challenges, beyond the understanding of their 'minders'. Mysterious Morris himself is charged with investigating and solving cats' problems that arise within the neighbourhood of Blackberry Drive where, assisted by his loyal band of 'merry mogs', he rights wrongs, restores and maintains order. Each poem is the tale of one of Morris's cases; sometimes protecting the local cats, sometimes meeting their needs in ways their 'minders' might disapprove of, sometimes solving puzzling events, and even on occasion marshalling his friends to protect the unaware Blackberry Drive humans. We enter the world of Mysterious Morris as outsiders, gaining insight into the remarkable lives cats lead, even as they remain to us just our cosy, cuddly, purring pets.

Book excerpt: The personality of the cat is a fascinating mixture of affection, domesticity and active independence. You may think you know your cat as he purrs in your lap, but come across your pet in the street on a dark night and you might think that Bagpuss suffers from a dual personality. Every single feline pet carries an inheritance of amazing sensory capacities, vocal utterances, body language and territorial displays. By answering such questions as 'what does a cat signal with its ears? 'why does a cat rub up against your leg?' and 'why does a cat swing its head from side to side when staring at its prey?', Desmond Morris decodes the private world of the cat. Your cat is full of surprises and our finest zoologist is about to reveal their secrets in this beautifully repackaged edition of a much loved bestseller.

Forced to confront a lifetime of kitty-phobia when he marries a cat woman, Willie discovers that Spit McGee, a feisty kitten with one blue and one gold eye, is nothing like the foul felines that lurk in his nightmares. For when Spit is just three weeks old he nearly dies, but is saved by Willie with a little help from Clinic Cat, which provides a blood transfusion. Spit is tied to Willie thereafter, and Willie grows devoted to a companion who won't fetch a stick, but whose wily charm and occasional crankiness conceal a fount of affection, loyalty, and a "rare and incredible intelligence."

A book full with pictures of the most important cat breeds, tips and advice for cat behavior, cat diseases and how to take care of the cats. The cat, also called the domestic cat or house cat, is a small feline carnivorous mammal of the subspecies Felis silvestris catus. Its most immediate pre-domestication ancestor is the African wild cat, Felis silvestris lybica. The cat has been living in close association with humans for at least 3,500 years; the Ancient Egyptians routinely used cats to keep mice and other rodents (mostly rats) away from their grain (and also believed that cats were sacred to the goddess Bastet). The history of the domestic cat may stretch back even further, as 8,000-year-old bones of humans and cats were found buried together on the island of Cyprus.

Book excerpt: What is it about the canine personality which has singled this animal out from all the 4,236 species of non-human mammals to be man’s closest companion? Strangely enough, all dogs, from scruffy mongrels to haughty show champs, are members of the same species – that of the wolf. In Dogwatching, zoologist Desmond Morris gives answers to fascinating fundamental questions about our canine companions – questions so often overlooked by standard dog books, which concentrate on grooming, feeding and veterinary care. It is a book for dog-lovers everywhere, one which will lead to an even deeper bond of understanding and an insight into such remarkable and delightful creatures. Why do dogs bark? Why does a frightened dog put its tail between its legs? Why do puppies chew slippers? Why does a dog bury a bone? Why does a Pointer point? Why do we cure a hangover with the ‘hair of the dog’? Do dogs have a sixth sense? Why do some dogs chase their own tails?
