Despite its cutesy cover image, this is a serious tome, written by (according to the back cover bio) the world's foremost cat expert. For example, in the section(s) about feeding habits, there is detailed info on the interaction of different cat species in areas where their ranges overlap, and how they change their diets in response to other competing cats, and possibly even become more diurnal or more nocturnal in feeding habits. There are also some grisly stats, such as (I'm almost positive I read this one in this book) the fact that about two thirds of bobcat deaths come at the jaws of mountain lions, and most of the remaining deaths are due to cars. There's a good section on prehistoric cats, such as the fabled Smilodon (saber-toothed cat) and the lesser-known Homotherium. By the way, if you're interested in that topic, check out www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/s/smilodon.html
Hopefully a longer, even more detailed edition of this book will be released someday. ( )
