The blurb on the back cover asks the question:
‘Have you ever wondered:
- If cats really have nine lives?
- Where the saying ‘letting the cat out of the bag’ comes from?
- Whether black cats are good luck or bad?
- Why cats always land on their feet?
- Why the ancient Egyptians worshipped cats?
The answers to these and many other feline conundrums are packed within the covers of this little book.
And so it was that I found myself browsing through this little book of feline facts and folklore written by Philip Ardagh and illustrated by Caroline Smith.
It’s a fascinating book full of different gems which you may already know, but I bet, like me, there were tons of things that you didn‘t know. Did you know, for example, that the collective noun for cats is a clowder? This only applies to grown up cats. A group of kittens is called a kindle!
Published in hardback by Macmillan it costs £5.99 in the UK and the ISBN number is: 1-4050-6710-1
The Very Best Toy for Cats
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a noise when you jump on it."
