The Little Book of Mean Cats

Get to know the furry friends (foes?) who walk around like they own the place - and crucially, all over their owners.

Cats are lazy, selfish, rude, mean - and often downright evil. We all know this to be true. But, let's be honest: it's why we love them so much! They knock things off shelves just to watch them fall, sleep in the middle of our beds and refuse to budge, judge us from across the room with a stare that could kill a horse, pounce on toddlers with a devilishly glee and caterwaul all night long when they don't get the attention they feel they deserve. It's little wonder that we considered cats in league with the Devil for more than a millennia during the medieval era - because they probably were!

The Little Book of Mean Cats is stuffed with more than 180 deliciously sharp facts, stats, quotes, quips and stories celebrating curious, cunning, chaotic and contemptuous cats. From historical divas to literary tricksters, cats of legends to legendary cats, this tiny tome is a tribute to the world's most pawsome tyrants. The perfect gift for anyone who knows you never truly own a cat - it owns you.
