Cat by Katharine M Rogers
Traces the relationship between humans and the cat from its original domestication in ancient Egypt c. 2000 BC, where it enjoyed high status, through its centuries as a mere utilitarian rodent catcher, its gradual acceptance as a charming and amiable pet, and its present status as a companion on a par with the dog.
a beautifully illustrated history.. A perfect read for ailurophiles. The Guardian Reaktion's reliably stylish and intelligent series of illustrated books about animals in culture goes from strength to strength. Cat unites a typically broad and fascinating set of images with Katherine Rogers's elegant survey of the way humans have seen and thought of home-based felines. The Independent It requires a wealth of knowledge and some ingenuity to write a book about cats that has a fresh approach and provides unusual information, which has not been repeated from innumerable previous publications. But, as with all the books I have in the this fine new series, this is what Katharine Rogers has achieved in Cat ... [this] book has a very balanced approach and is written with great empathy and understanding. Anthrozoos
