What is really going on behind those

luminous feline eyes?

Affectionate yet aloof, intelligent

and inquisitive yet dangerously

careless, the more-or-less

domesticated house cat

intrigues us as no other animal can.

Now Barbara Holland offers cat lovers

a fascinating, funny, and refreshingly

candid look at their feline companions:

their history, lore, and secrets, and their

complicated relations with people and

with each other.

Secrets of the Cat is a lively

appreciation of cats as we know and

love them, with witty analysis and fresh

observations about felines both high and

low. Here are Winston Churchill's ginger

tom, who attended cabinet meetings;

Teddy Roosevelt's cat, Slippers, who

came to dinner; and even the author's

own George II, who was bitten by a

mouse and adopted by a blue jay. Barbara

Holland's warm, vivid speculations on

cats' lives and times—on their social,

psychic, and mythological legacy, and their

impenetrable mysteries—will give readers

a delightful cat's-eye view of the world.
