"Cat" traces the relationship between humans and the cat from its original domestication in ancient Egypt c. 2000 BC, where it enjoyed high status, through its centuries as a mere utilitarian rodent catcher, its gradual acceptance as a charming and amiable pet, and its present status as a companion on a par with the dog. "Cats" spread from Egypt, reaching Britain by the fourth century BC and Japan by about the seventh. They were immediately appreciated in Japan, but in the West they were regarded as harmless and necessary at best, and, at worst, as convenient targets for abuse. Finally, in late-seventeenth-century France, an aristocratic coterie began to make much of their pet cats. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people of all classes came to appreciate cats as companions, and now there are more pet cats than pet dogs in both the UK and the USA. Long before people valued cats as companions, however, they recognized something special about them. Cats' ease of negotiation in the dark, their silent movements, their self-detachment even as they live in our homes, their refusal to defer to humans, seem to indicate strange, even supernatural powers. At first these attributes seemed sinister, but for later cat lovers they add to the animals' fascination. They have inspired writers from Poe to Lewis Carroll to imaginative creations. But cats can also be the embodiment of a happy home and good friends, whether they sustain a lonely old woman like Hall's Fraulein Schwartz or chat pleasantly with an old man in Murakami's Kafka on the Shore. The peculiar fascination of the cat, indeed, is the diversity of images it projects sweet and ferocious, affectionate and independent, elegant and earthy, cosily domestic and eerie. This book will appeal to the enormous number of people who like and are interested in cats. Unlike many other cat books, it offers substantial and accurate information about the history of cats and their presentation in literature and art.

一开始讲了一些猫的进化,家猫在各个文明社会中地位的转变什么的,还挺不错的。 然后就开始说猫在各种文化体系中的身影,又是小说又是科学书又是画又是演出什么的,大量的罗列了许多很难接触到,通常情况也不会去接触的各类作品,然后就一直罗列罗列罗列,罗列到完。 内容不可...

本书详细叙述了喵星文化渗透地球的过程,罗列了种种喵星人对蓝星人逐步进行洗脑的翔实证据。 可惜的是,人类作者或是为了免造迫害、或是受到喵星脑控影响,未能在本书中直接指出喵星人的险恶用心,致使大量读者难以了解真相,也使本书沦为了一本单纯的流水账。 喵。

凯瑟琳·罗杰斯为了写这本《猫》,不知道看了多少资料,基本上,这是一本关于猫的八卦,旁引博征,非常翔实,实际上才区区十来万字,读起来感觉像在看30万字的内容。 关于猫,我们总是觉得,它和人总是保持一种谨慎的亲密关系,它不像狗对人类那么忠诚,猫从来都是...

某天看纪实频道。主持人不知道是无心还是有意,台词说:动物都是单纯,之所以去杀戮也只是为填肚子;而唯有人,会去屠杀,寻开心。 为什么要这么说? 猫被人喜欢,也是经过了漫长的曲折,比狗的历史要曲折得多。一度被抓住就要杀死,被普遍认为邪恶又不幸的猫咪,谁能想象今...

杂七杂八的小段子拼凑出来的,信息量大但是比较庞杂,逻辑性不强,看着玩还行。
