Thanks to NetGalley for sharing this ARC for me to enjoy on a cold rainy caturday.
Really enjoyable, light read with plenty of interesting tidbits. I wonder if the final book will include an appendix or go through a fact checker. The claim that Pope Gregory's call to kill cats resulted in the Black Plague is a myth. I also am curious why the Clan Chattan wildcat and motto "Touch not the cat" are not included as it is of medieval origin.
Many of the cats have human looking faces - which is weird - and a lot of pictures of cats licking their butts. Fun compendium and would make a nice gift book.
