Foreword to Wild Discovery Guide to Your Cat
ISBN: 1-56331-804-0
by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Tribe of Tiger

         Although people have been keeping cats as pets for more than 8000 years, they still seem mysterious to us even while we take them almost for granted.  But perhaps we shouldn't. More than any other kind of animal, they are creatures on the edge...  In fact, even the process of domestication has had less effect on the cat than it has upon most other animals...Thus to this day cats live in our homes with their wildness still upon them... If we find them mysterious, it is because we have forgotten much of what our own ancestors knew about the wilderness...A book such as this, with the cat as its subject, is a window on the natural world.
