What did Victorian London really think of its cats? Charles Henry Ross gathered every scrap he could find: legends, anecdotes, superstitions, and true stories of remarkable felines, then stitched them into one of the first books ever devoted entirely to cats. Written in 1868 with a collector's delight and a humorist's wink, it is a portrait of an animal on its way from alley to armchair. For anyone who has ever shared a home with a cat, this is the affectionate, eccentric ancestor of every cat book since.
