The Secret Life of Cats
A Natural History of Aloofness, Anarchy, and Occasional AffectionYou may think you know your cat - but your cat knows better. From the ancient temples of Egypt to the chaos of your sitting room at three in the morning, felines have lived beside us while remaining gloriously beyond our understanding.
In this affectionate and archly observant natural history, we follow the cat's journey from wild hunter to household philosopher, exploring the science behind their grace, the folklore that surrounds their nine (or possibly seven) lives, and the psychology of a creature that can fall from five storeys, land on its feet, and still look bored.
Discover why cats sleep for sixteen hours yet react faster than a striking snake; how they use whiskers as radar, tails as semaphores, and meows as a private language designed exclusively for manipulating humans. Learn what really happens when they purr (it's more complex than comfort), how they view territory, relationships, and ownership (hint: they don't believe in any of them), and why the slow blink is the feline equivalent of a sonnet.
With wit, warmth, and an occasional apology to the furniture, The Secret Life of Cats reveals the truth behind the whiskers - that we are not their masters but their biographers. They don't need meaning. They already have comfort.
Full-colour throughout, blending science, folklore, and quiet admiration, this is the essential guide to the world's most self-assured animal - and the humans who have the privilege of being tolerated by it.
