| Summary |
Combines research with case studies to paint a detailed portrait of the domestic cat. Traces the cat's evolution from solitary hunter to domesticated companion, showing that cats remain independent, predatory, and wary of social contact, qualities that often clash with the demands of their owner's modern lifestyles. |
