How Cats Conquered the World

by heather-hacking

Meet God's own cat who sits on the master plan for the creation, find out how cats evolved from furry ameoba to seduce their way into prehistoric cave families, then had a glorious moment in Egypt when the cult of the cat was almost a religion (what's changed?), then a not so wonderful moment in medieval times when they were linked with witches. Witty and original, this delightful cartoon history is a must for every cat lover and will be 2004's Christmas best seller!

I've just started dating a guy whose mother is crazy about cats (as am I) and so when I saw this in a charity shop this week, I had to get it for her. It's a quick and cute read which drops off in quality a bit towards the end, but contains many truisms about cat-human relations and funny snippets of history reinterpreted to showcase feline wiles. I had a good chuckle over 'Tabby or not tabby?', Descartes' 'Then I think...' and what really caused the madness of King George III.

Didn’t appeal. I liked the idea of God having cats.

A fun little book, with cheeky humour and illustrations to match.
