THE CHARACTER OF CATS

By Stephen Budiansky

2002, Viking Penguin, US

There are no Seeing Eye cats, guard cats or sled cats - and for very good reasons. Cats - as cats "owners" know - are intractably independent, defying all rules about how and why animals became domesticated. Now acclaimed author and scientist Stephen Budiansky combines breakthrough scientific research, fascinating lore, and his own infectious fondness for all things feline to elucidate the mysteries of these amazing creatures.
