Cat Lore
by Desmond Morris

Catlore is the sequel to Desmond Morris's international best-seller Catwatching. In this intriguing and engaging book, Morris answers many of the queries about cats' behavior that he received from cat owners after the success of Catwatching.

Cat lovers will be amazed and enlightened by answers to such questions as: Why are cats attracted to people who dislike them? How sensitive is a cat's hearing? Do cats have ESP? Why do cats drink dirty water? and many, many others.

Morris also discusses the myths and history of cats throughout the ages. He explains the origins of the tabby and various breeds, including the most modern "designer" cats, tells us how and why cats were used in warfare, and chronicles the rise of eompetitive cat shows beginning with the first show at the St. Giles Fair in Winchester, England, in 1598. And once again Morris regales us with delightful explanations of the myths and the most common and uncommon expressions abuot cats, such as the origin of the term, the Cheshire cat grin.
