Hi Book Lover, I write about cats - just cats. I write both fiction, like cozy cat mysteries & thrillers, and nonfiction, like fascinating or bizarre cat facts. I hope you find my books funny, thrilling, suspenseful and informative. I live in Alberta, Canada with my two fabulous felines, Alley and Tanzy. And, yes, I love kitties!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I learnt so many new things about cats which really astonished me. I am even considering the option of having a cat pet after reading this book. It was good to know that the author was inspired by Hardy Boys mysteries which I too read when I was a boy. A really interesting fun book. I am also going to read the second book in this cat book series. Cheers ?

Purring Through The Ages

Cats in history: Worshipped in Ancient Egypt and killed as accomplices to witchcraft in Europe during the Middle Ages.

The domesticated cat has essentially stayed the same for thousands of years.
Poetry and art have exploited the cat since Ancient Egypt, and the cat was a major shape in the Art Nouveau of the West in the 1920s.

Because of their effective rodent control, cats have been welcomed the world over on farms.
Unlike other domesticated animals, cats decided to live with humans (not the other way around).

Stretching & Yawning: The Waking Feline
Fossils of ancient cats are few, leaving scientists to try to piece together an evolutionary timeline.

In what is now North America and Europe, the first cat, known as Pseudolurus, lived 20 millions years ago.

The first ancestors of the domesticated cat lived about 13,000 years ago.
The earliest evidence of the domesticated cat was 9,500 years ago in Cypress. Cat bones were discovered in
