- Synopsis
- [from inside flaps] "Even before the Ptolemies of Egypt, cats were considered the most extraordinary of creatures. At once deified, vilified, and taken into the household throughout antiquity, cats have left their curious mark on mythology, religion, art, literature, and on the home. Miss Conger, in this attractive volume, gives us the history of cats from their earliest origin. She tells us how they became at once the friend and foe of man. Here are cats from the Sahara to the sandbox."
