Product Description
The Cat’s Meow explores the past, present, and future of the world’s most beloved pet through the lens of leading evolutionary biologist and cat lover Jonathan Losos. Blending cutting-edge science with engaging storytelling, Losos reveals how the domestic cat evolved from its African origins into a globally successful species. Using tools like GPS tracking, genomics, and forensic archaeology, he uncovers surprising truths about where backyard cats roam, what modern breeds truly are, and how ancient cats lived alongside early humans. With warmth and humor, he answers questions such as why cats bring home prey, whether lions and tigers meow, and how the cat became iconic in Egyptian culture. From wild cousins to new breeds shaped by human influence, this insightful book shows how cats remain just one paw out of the wild while continuing to reshape ecosystems worldwide. A charming, intelligent exploration of cats and their bond with humans, offering a glimpse into what the future may hold for both Felis catus and Homo sapiens.
