HER MAJESTY THE CAT

A Frenchman writes- respectfully, felicitiously, unsentimentally and scientifically about the cat- and along with the occasional anecdote, there is a good deal of practical advice. The cat's origins- in legend and history; its capacities -- memory, jealousy, curiosity, fidelity, dexterity- primarily; its sensory mechanism, and its sexuality; the defined species and standards of comparison; its care and training, feeding and breeding, illnesses- and their treatment, this shares a good deal of information as well as admiration.
