How intelligent are horses? In addition to examining details of behavior, Dr Morris considers such questions as why horseshoes bring good luck, why we don't eat horses, why jockeys are allowed to whip their mounts and why we call a bad dream a nightmare.
The wide-ranging coverage in this encylopaedia of cats encompasses entries on many kinds of domestic cat (from Abyssinian to Siamese), famous individual cats (from Felix to Macavity), and aspects of feline behaviour (from hunting to courtship). It also incorporates terminology, cat books and organizations, famous owners, authors and artists, and even people such as Julius Caesar and Napoleon, who hated cats.
