Cats: Their Points and Characteristics With Curiosities of Cat Life, and a Chapter on Feline Ailments Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive.) "Cats: Their Points and Characteristics" by W. Gordon Stables is a comprehensive exploration of the domestic cat, likely written in the late 19th century. This work combines both observational anecdotes and practical insights into the behavior, care, and significance of cats in human life. The author aims to advocate for the well-being and appreciation of these often misunderstood creatures, illuminating their unique characteristics and strengths. At the start of the text, Stables sets an apologetic tone for traditional prefaces, suggesting that readers are probably eager to dive directly into the discussion about cats. He expresses a deep affection for domestic cats, emphasizing their gentle nature and their role as companions in human homes. Through witty anecdotes, he describes various interactions and observations regarding the lives of cats, their relationships with humans (especially children), and their intriguing behaviors, such as their playfulness and curiosity. The beginning lays the groundwork for a deeper investigation into the complexities and charms of cats, preparing the reader for an engaging and informative journey into feline life.
