The Domestic Cat

** "The Domestic Cat" by Gordon Stables is a comprehensive scientific exploration of felines. It examines the unique traits and actions of house cats. Stables compares dogs and cats to emphasize the evolutionary differences, noting the shared history of domesticated cats compared to the diverse types of dogs. The book introduces how scientists classify animals, especially by color and size, highlighting that despite slight variances, cats are largely the same. The initial discussions set the stage for a broad study of cat behavior, routines, and proper care methods. **
