Who knew?? 
This book kept me in stitches! I was really surprised to find that one cat is credited for destroying a whole species. It puts them right up there with man himself. On the other hand, I hope to see a sequel soon to include Hemingway's cats and maybe even a couple of my cats. No? Oh, well … If you're my friend, expect to get your own copy for Christmas!

Great gift book for a cat lover! 
Bought this for a cat loving gal pal in her 40's. She is a history buff, well read and intelligent. She has an appreciation for the species as I do. This is a great little book gift for a great price! Very well written, and interesting. Would buy again, would recommend.

This is loaded with little cat facts. It is a good read – doesn't take too long and then is fun to talk about after.

100 Cats Who Changed Civilization: History's Most Influential Felines
This is an excellent book if you are looking for something to sit on your coffee table or desk at the office. I highly recommend it for children, or anyone that is a cat lover simply because these are true stories about some very famous felines.
