Tribe of Tiger : Cats and Their Culture

The story begins with what cats are: meat-eaters, first & foremost. But within that stark equation abides an astonishing range of experience & expression. Contrary to popular belief, cats -- even tigers -- are not solitary beings, but are homebodies who ownÓproperty much as we do & favor extended clans when food supplies permit. They communicate with one another & with us. Like dogs, they include us in their family structures, but while dogs treat us as friends & equals, cats relate to us hierarchically, as parents or children. Most crucially, cats pass on, adapt, & invent codes of deportment as circumstances require. B&W drawings. New York Times bestseller. Intriguing.
