The book is a comprehensive guide to the anatomy, physiology, and behavior of cats, and it aims to provide readers with an introduction to the study of backboned animals, particularly mammals.Mivart's book covers a wide range of topics related to cats, including their skeletal structure, muscular system, digestive system, reproductive system, and nervous system. He also discusses the cat's senses, such as its hearing, vision, and sense of smell, and provides insights into the cat's behavior, including its hunting instincts and social interactions.Throughout the book, Mivart takes a scientific approach, drawing on his extensive knowledge of biology and zoology to provide detailed explanations of the cat's anatomy and physiology. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the cat's physical structure and how it functions.Overall, The Cat: An Introduction To The Study Of Backboned Animals, Especially Mammals is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about cats or the study of backboned animals.

Reseña del editor

Man to the lowest plant. No natural science is at present more keenly pursued or with more effect. The advances of Astronomy and Geology have produced great changes in mens minds during the last three centuries: Biology is producing changes at least as great, in the present age. So rapid has been its progress that the Natural History of Animals and Plants needs to be rewritten the field of Nature being surveyed from a new stand-point. Such a history may be written in two ways :(1) Living beings may be treated as one whole, their various powers and the more general facts as to their organization being successively portrayed as they exist in the whole series; or (2) one animal (or plant) may be selected as a type and treated of in detail, other types, successively more divergent in structure from the first, being described afterwards. In following the latter mode, we may either begin with one of the most simply organised of living creatures and gradually ascend to the highest and most complex in structure; or we may commence with the latter, and thence descend to the consideration of the lowest kinds of animated beings.
