My name is Seamus Mullarkey. For the past year, I've been looking up old newspapers, leafing through out-of-print books, and scouring the internet to get to the heart of just how those darn kitties have won our nation's hearts. I've collected all that fascinating information within this entertaining and intriguing little book.

An interesting book.
Another very interesting, well written and presented book on cats from the Irish author Seamus Mullarkey. Lots of unusual facts,such as President Lincoln feeding his cat with a gold spoon, cat speed dialling for emergency assistance. The section on future of American Cats made me smile, great stories ,unusual cats. A fabulous book which one could give instead of a birthday card. Looking forward to the next book on cats!
