The cat has a dual nature, that of the gentle, loving bundle, purring on your lap and as a predator, a character so strong that people either love cats dearly or claim to dislike them thoroughly. In Ancient Egypt the cat became an archetype for instruction and understanding. Included in the book are sections on: cats and astrology, the Celtic cat, links between cats and serpents, the relationships between cats, the moon and sun and also cats in fable, folklore and superstition with legends and stories gathered from all over the world. A wonderful book for cat lovers and those who appreciate the mysterious side of the cat.
