The Cat's Pajamas

What Feline Idioms Meow About Human-Cat Relations

Cats never conquered humanity. That would have required effort. They accomplished something far more impressive: they persuaded humanity to do all the work, and to feel grateful for the privilege. This witty collection digs up the idioms cats have left in our everyday language, tracing where each one came from, what it really means, and what it tells us about our long, one-sided relationship with the cat. Fully illustrated, with an introduction, eleven themed chapters, an epilogue and an index of idioms.
