BOOK - Damn Cat

I had prepared a platter of smoked salmon... Damn cat. I was delivered a new sofa... Damn cat. A pair of blackbirds nested in the garden... Damn cat. The cat is a thief, a destroyer and a killer, who looks down on us with contempt. If you hate cats, you'll find plenty of good reasons in this book—zoological, historical, and behavioral—to persist. If you love them, you will see beautiful designs; but you will also realize that this cunning animal has intruded into your home to serve and enslave you. That cat you think is yours doesn't belong to you; it owns you. Damn it.
