"[A] charming, funny, and informative history of cats . . . full of fascinating historical anecdotes [and] hilarious color photos of Baba in various costumes and wings. . . . Even cat aficionados will learn something new--and have fun doing it." -- Publishers Weekly "Almost certainly the most unique cat history book ever published. . . . Cats have now firmly established themselves as pop culture icons and favorite pets. But in Koudounaris' view, they still have much to say, if only we give them the chance." -- Smithsonian Magazine " A Cat's Tale chronicles the powerful and ancient influence of cats throughout (and upon) history. This is already a standout premise--but what elevates this book into the stratosphere of literary greatness are the dozens of portraits of Baba in elaborate historic regalia." -- BookPage , "Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2020" "Baba is a true triple threat--model, writer, and incisive cultural historian. Her work deserves its place in the pantheon of feline literary greats." --Caitlin Doughty, New York Times bestselling author of Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? "Baba--ably assisted by his amanuensis, Paul Koudounaris--introduces us to a rich cast of feline characters from the past. A Cat's Tale is an exquisitely crafted love letter to all things feline. And it is precisely the kind of delightful distraction that the world so desperately needs." --Lindsey Fitzharris, bestselling author of The Butchering Art and PEN/E.O.

Synopsis
"Fun, fanciful, and even informative." -- People The first comprehensive history of felines--from the laps of pagan gods to present-day status as meme stars--as revealed by a very learned tabby with a knack for hunting down facts Since the dawn of civilization, felines have prowled alongside mankind as they expanded their territory and spread the myth of human greatness. And today, cats are peddled on social media as silly creatures here to amuse humans with their antics. But this is an absurd, self-centered fantasy. The true history of felines is one of heroism, love, tragedy, sacrifice, and gravitas. Not entirely convinced? Well, get ready, because Baba the Cat is here to set the record straight. Spanning almost every continent and thousands--yes, thousands--of years, Baba's complex story of feline survival presents readers with a diverse cast of cats long forgotten: from her prehistoric feline ancestors and the ancient Egyptian cat goddess Bastet to the daring mariners at the height of oceanic discovery, key intellectuals in the Enlightenment period, revered heroes from World Wars I and II, and the infamous American tabbies. Baba, a talented model in addition to a scholar, goes beyond surface-level scratches, pairing her freshly unearthed research with a series of stunning costume portraits to bring history to life. A paws-on journey through the feline hall of fame, with in-depth research and four-legged testaments that will make you rethink who defines history, A Cat's Tale is a one-of-a-kind chronicle that introduces readers to the illustrious ancestors of their closest companions and shows, once and for all, that cats know exactly what they're doing.
