Cats Rule the World

According to statistics, more and more people are bringing cats into their homes. What kind of magic does this animal possess?
The cat turns the return to an empty house into a return home, and today we have every reason to believe that this fluffy little predator will become the pet of the future. Cat videos unreservedly occupy a leading position on social media and garner millions of views around the world, for cat charm is a universal language that requires no translation.
Human love for domestic representatives of the feline family goes back to our long history with them. For example, did you know that Egyptian women shaved their heads and wore mourning when their cat died? Or that bringing home a deserving cat from the Hermitage’s mouse-catching army grants you free access to the museum? Or that in the early 20th century New York newspapers published stories about whiskered cats alongside news of major political events?
In this journey through the world of cats, you will learn about legendary Siamese cats in the temples of Thailand, cats-"politicians" from Downing Street, six-toed favorites of Ernest Hemingway, cats - citizens of Rome, who were allowed to climb on monuments, and even cats - heroic participants in sea and land battles.
This book collects a thousand and one adventures that have befallen the amazing creatures that have delighted humanity for ten thousand years. Egyptians considered the cat a sacred animal, and the prophet Muhammad, according to legend, cut off the sleeve of his robe, not wishing to disturb the cat sleeping on it. There are many stories about cats, and far from all of them fit under the cover of this most delightful book. But the authors surely have enough to melt any cat-loving heart!
