The past, present and future of the world's most popular and beloved pet, from a leading evolutionary biologist and great cat lover. Why don’t lions meow? Why does my cat leave a dead mouse at my feet? And why is a pet ocelot a bad idea? Jonathan B. Losos unravels the secrets of the cat using all the tools of modern technology, from GPS tracking (you’ll be amazed where they roam) and genomics (what is your so-called Siamese cat, really?) to forensic archaeology. He tells the story of the cat’s domestication (if you can call it that) and gives us a cat's-eye view of the world today. Along.
