The Lion in the Living Room: How House Cats Tamed Us and Took Over the World - Thryft

House cats' global dominance cleverly unveiled.

If you've ever wondered how your feline friend managed to find a place not just in your home but in the hearts of millions worldwide, "The Lion in the Living Room" is a pursuit you'll find fascinating. Abigail Tucker takes you on a journey that's as much about natural history as it is about the socio-cultural impact of cats. This book promises a colorful trek through time, textures of science, and the quirkiness of cat mania—all served with a dash of humor. It's the purr-fect read for anyone curious about the silent paws treading powerfully through human history.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

House cats rule bedrooms and back alleys, deserted Antarctic islands, even cyberspace. And unlike dogs, cats offer humans no practical benefit. The truth is they are sadly incompetent mouse-catchers and now pose a threat to many ecosystems. Yet, we love them still. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
