This informative book presents a host of feline facts in a fanciful and fun way. The author begins by introducing the history of cats and people, recalling that wild cats monitored the mice population in the first grain fields of the Old World. Friendly cats soon became prized as pets and came with the first explorers to the New World. Today, the author explains, cats make good pets because they are affectionate, clean, quiet, and easy to care for. But they still have an aura of mystery.

The rest of the book centers around the persistent notions that perplex people about cats. Whimsical yet well-researched illustrations accompany the interesting facts.
