Fascinating Felines by Hugh David Loxdale

This book represents an exploration - often amusing, sometimes philosophical - of the feline condition, including the variety of cats, their beauty, independence, affection, sublime indifference, cruelty, skill as hunters...and skill as pets too, as they adapt their behaviour to fit in with ours.
