Despite a long history of coexistence, cats receiving human care and care have managed to maintain mystery and distance in these relationships. The author of the book reveals the role of cats in the culture and mythology of different countries and eras, proves that cats have supernatural abilities and makes the reader take a fresh look at these familiar creatures. “Why is the cat the most popular pet on the planet? Or, to put it another way: why do people love cats so much? Both questions are deceptively simple, but using them as a starting point, we will soon find ourselves in the confusing world of cats, where we will encounter many puzzles. In an attempt to find a way out of the labyrinth, we will turn to myths, legends, folklore, stories passed down from generation to generation, and even science for clues. We will look at many strange, little-studied facts and will not be afraid to put forward bold hypotheses.” (Herbie Brennan)Herbie Brennan is a famous Irish writer.
