Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has an instinct for animals and what makes them behave the way they do. Here her subject is felines - house cats and their wild siblings, lions, pumas and tigers - and the kinds of bonds they form with us and with each other. Thomas begins by examining just what cats are, and their images of themselves in relation to humans. Next she traces cat culture as it evolved through the ages, and finally looks at cats on their own, alone and together.
