It was when the author was peeling the grapes for her cats' 'Sole Veronique' supper,and switching on their electric blanket,that the idea emerged that perhaps cats were ruling the world....
Years of exhaustive research in the archives from Samarkand Public Library to Die Katzen Bibliothek in Vienna have produced this definitive catalogue of feline domination.
Who were the great cats who shaped history? There's Miaowpatra,queen of the Nile,Genghis Khat,Whisker Wilde, Vincent Van Fluff,Richard the Furred and Christofur Columpuss,to name but
a few in this gallery of the feline good and great.
Sensational illustrations and quirky text make this a unique gift and the reference book you cannot be without!
