Animals

'Cats have padded silently into our hearts, bringing with them their grace, their independence and their essential mystery. How have we humans become so fond of these small desert creatures with their sharp claws and carnivorous teeth? Why do we love them so much?' From Herodotus, Darwin and Twain to T.S. Eliot and Edward Lear, Celia Haddon answers these questions by showing the true breadth of personalities who have shared their lives with cats and written about that special relationship. www.celiahaddon.co.uk
