AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A humorous collection of short stories, about cats, for cat lovers and haters alike.
'They're killers. they're terrorists. they're vandals. And so darnn cute and cuddly you want to take them to bed. Man has a long and pathetic history of pandering to cats. A million years ago, they had us for dinner. Now they have us for fools, take advantage of our generosity, our forgiveness, our patience, and nab the best spot in front of the heater. Why do we stroke their beautiful necks and not wring them? Love them or loathe them, once you read this book you'll never look at cats the same way again.' (Publication summary)Contents
