The Feline Mystique Clea Simon
Griffin 0312316100 / 9780312316105 Softcover New
This sophisticated exploration of the bond between women and their cats examines everything from the history of cats (Cleopatra) to the stereotypes of women who choose to live with cats (the 'cat lady') to the power of female images relating to cats (Catwoman). Part history of a species, part personal memoir, and featuring a healthy dose of wry humor, Clea Simon's The Feline Mystique shares the tale of her particular cat (Cyrus) set against a backdrop of interviews and statistics on cats throughout the world. Smoothly blending mythology with modern stories of dedicated feral cat rescuers, feline fanciers might bond with this book as tightly as they've bonded with their own wee beastie.

The Feline Mystique Clea Simon
St. Martin's Griffin 1st Edition 2002 0312316100 / 9780312316105 Hardcover, DJ New copy
This sophisticated exploration of the bond between women and their cats examines everything from the history of cats (Cleopatra) to the stereotypes of women who choose to live with cats (the 'cat lady') to the power of female images relating to cats (Catwoman).
Part history of a species, part personal memoir, and featuring a healthy dose of wry humor, Clea Simon's The Feline Mystique shares the tale of her particular cat (Cyrus) set against a backdrop of interviews and statistics on cats throughout the world. Smoothly blending mythology with modern stories of dedicated feral cat rescuers, feline fanciers might bond with this book as tightly as they've bonded with their own wee beastie.
Simon walks us through her initial bond with a young kitten, through the warm years of record-clawing, arm-kneading, keyboard-walking, veterinarian-terrorizing cat companionship, and leads us gently through the sadness of parting with a beloved animal. You won't find practical tips on health care or soapboxes about the problem of strays in the city--just page after page of individualized love and fascination. From Norse goddess Freya and her flying cats to references of a study done on the annual kill of an outdoors-living housecat to an interview with Barnum and Bailey's female tiger tamer, each detail helps construct a solid picture of the multifaceted relationship possible between a woman and her cat.
