Cat Hiss-Tory: A Feline Tour Through the Ages

Summary:

Cat Hiss-tory takes us on a jocular jaunt through the
ages--witnessing history from a feline's point of view. Our host for
this kitty adventure is Phineas T. Tiger, a handsome tabby of more
mature years. Mr. Tiger's historical analysis begins at the dawn of
civilization--when the Great One said, "Let there be cats!" And so
there were cats, stacks of cats, kitties who have left their unique
paw prints upon history. The Jurassic cats invented the wheel, the
greatest kitty toy ever created. The Chinese cats built the Great
Wall of China. Cat Columbus discovered America, and the Revolutionary
Cats spat and pounced upon those accursed British Cats. In more
contemporary times, a cat called Augusta Ada Byron invented the
computer, and, of course, the mouse. Each snippet of hiss-tory is
accompanied by a full-color picture, illuminating these innovative
and crafty felines. --Naomi Gesinger
