THE CAT

What does a cat perceive when there is nothing for us to see, hear, or explain? A cat suddenly stares into an empty corner. She reacts to sounds we cannot hear, scents we can barely perceive, and changes that escape us completely. For thousands of years, this animal has fascinated humans — and for just as long, myths, legends, and mysterious stories have arisen around her extraordinary perception. THE CAT – The Mystery of Creation takes readers deep into the world of one of the most familiar yet most enigmatic animals at our side. The book explores, among other things, the cat’s senses, evolution and domestication, hunting and movement, learning and memory, communication and purring, attachment to humans, cultural beliefs and historical legends, as well as phenomena often associated with a so-called sixth sense. Throughout, the book consistently distinguishes between observation, scientific explanation, myth, and what remains unresolved to this day. A fact-based, atmospheric and compelling non-fiction book for anyone who does not simply want to look at cats, but truly understand them better.
