The Cat's Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa by Jonathan B. Losos

3.5

Interesting and chatty look at cats and cat history.  Each chapter was, for the most part, an independent topic rather than a historical trip.  I loved the tangential nature of the footnotes and the author's conversational style overall.  

I did not appreciate his blase attitude towards outdoor cats - I am very much in the indoor-only camp, for the health and safety of both the cats and the wildlife.  That kind of turned me off the last few chapters and thus the book sadly fizzled out from such an interesting start.
