Did you know that the Bible doesn’t mention cats at all? Do you know why we think they cats nine lives? Do you know much of classic literature refers to cats, and what the great writers have to say about them? In Cat Miscellany, all the notable cat references and expressions in the English language have been gathered together to provide an amusing and informative compendium for cat lovers.

About the Author:
Max Cryer is one of New Zealand's best known broadcasters and writers and for the last decade has hosted a high-rating radio programme on the structure and use of the English language. His books on language have topped New Zealand's non-fiction bestseller lists and his Curious Questions was voted book of the year by the Booksellers Association of New Zealand. In 1994 he was awarded an MBE for services to literature and music.
Review:
Just as they slink into our homes, brushing our legs on their way to be fed, cats also cunningly pad through literature, leaving a surprisingly large impression on the English language. Meet the cat in all its rich and varied literary forms.
