Download or read book The Lion in the Living Room written by Abigail Tucker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller about how cats conquered the world and our hearts in this “deep and illuminating perspective on our favorite household companion” (Huffington Post). House cats rule bedrooms and back alleys, deserted Antarctic islands, even cyberspace. And unlike dogs, cats offer humans no practical benefit. The truth is they are sadly incompetent mouse-catchers and now pose a threat to many ecosystems. Yet, we love them still. In the “eminently readable and gently funny” (Library Journal, starred review) The Lion in the Living Room, Abigail Tucker travels through world history, natural science, and pop culture to meet breeders, activists, and scientists who’ve dedicated their lives to cats. She visits the labs where people sort through feline bones unearthed from the first human settlements, treks through the Floridian wilderness in search of house cats-turned-hunters on the loose, and hangs out with Lil Bub, one of the world’s biggest celebrities—who just happens to be a cat. “Fascinating” (Richmond Times-Dispatch) and “lighthearted” (The Seattle Times), Tucker shows how these tiny felines have used their relationship with humans to become one of the most powerful animals on the planet. A “lively read that pounces back and forth between evolutionary science and popular culture” (The Baltimore Sun), The Lion in the Living Room suggests that we learn that the appropriate reaction to a house cat, it seems, might not be aww but awe.

Download or read book A Nuisance of Cats written by H. C. Fargot and published by . This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curiosity didn't kill the cats, it only made them stronger - at least, so it appears in HC Fargot's A Nuisance of Cats, a brilliantly illustrated A-to-Z view of the curious nature of felines. Whether confronted by christmas trees, wheels of brie, an under-sized box or koo-koo clocks, HC Fargot's fur-loined friends manage to navigate an alphabetic gamut of curiosities with the utmost purrfection.Illustrating The Curious Collective and HC Fargot's view, self-confessed cat-lover Wrolf Bronesby provides a highly colorful and amusing cats' eyeview on feline sense and sensibility - or lack thereof.The term 'nuisance of cats' dates back several centuries, to an age when cats in number were viewed less than favorably. Other unfavorable feline groupings of that time include: a destruction of wild cats, a clutter or pounce of house cats, and the most reviled, a litter of kittens. In contrast to that historical view, A Nuisance of Cats places a positive and colorful spin on the collectively curious nature of cats, and so sets free the inner kitten in all of us.
