Summary:
Our feline companions are much-loved but often mysterious. Thomas McNamee blends scientific reportage with engaging anecdotes about his own beloved cat, Augusta, to explore and illuminate the secrets and enigmas of her kind. We follow the development of young Augusta while simultaneously explaining the basics of a kitten's physiological and psychological development. McNamee also charts cats' evolution, explores a feral cat colony in Rome, tells the story of Augusta's life and adventures, and consults with behavioral experts, animal activists, and researchers to more fully understand cats. With deeper knowledge of cats' developmental phases and individual idiosyncrasies, we can do a better job of guiding cats' maturation and improving the quality of their lives.
