"The Book of Cats" by Charles H. Ross is a collection of whimsical anecdotes, observations, and facts about felines, written in the late 19th century. This engaging work seeks to explore the cultural, historical, and humorous aspects of cats while dispelling common myths and misconceptions. Ross presents a delightful narrative that takes readers through various kinds of cats and the legendary stories surrounding them. At the start of the book, Ross reveals his initial inspiration for writing about cats after humorous encounters with friends who doubted that a book on such a well-trodden subject could be interesting. Despite their skepticism, he dives into extensive research and showcases his findings, critiquing previous accounts that portray cats negatively. The opening chapters express both the personal charm of cats and the societal misconceptions about their nature, setting the tone for a light-hearted yet informative journey into the world of these mysterious creatures.
