Feline Cultures by Ric Baratay

Whether they be street cats, farm cats, pet cats, companion cats, or "catdogs,” cats show a great plasticity of behavior.

Baratay’s work displays impressive theoretical and methodological originality in his attempts to retrieve the experience and perspective of historical animals by extracting their experience from historical documents that were produced for very different purposes

* author of Noble Cows and Hybrid Zebras: Essays on Animals and History *

Using the science of feline behavior to illuminate historical and literary accounts, Baratay effectively bridges the gap between scientific research and French cultural studies.

* translator of Benoît Duteurtre’s essay “The Question of the Cow” *
