The Joy of Cats Haddon, Celia

A celebration of cats in all their contradictory glory — aloof yet affectionate, graceful yet ridiculous, demanding yet somehow worth it. Celia Haddon explores what makes cats tick (or purr), from their evolutionary quirks to their inexplicable 3am zoomies. This isn't a care manual; it's more like anthropology for the feline-obsessed. Haddon draws on animal behavior research, historical anecdotes, and her own years of cat-wrangling to explain why your cat knocks things off counters, why they bring you dead things as gifts, and why that slow blink means "I tolerate your presence." Equal parts informative and charming, it's for anyone who's ever wondered what's actually going on behind those unreadable eyes. Perfect companion reading while your cat ignores you from across the room.
