Medieval Cats: Claws, Paws and Kitties of Yore by Catherine NappingtonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of Medieval Cats: Claws, Paws and Kitties of Yore by Catherine Nappington from Ten Speed Press via NetGalley. This book will be published around March 4, 2025.
Attention Cat Fans! Medieval Cats: Claws, Paws and Kitties of Yore by Catherine Nappington is a delightful (and disturbing) collection of art, quotes, and history of cats in the Middle Ages. It is the kind of book you can pick up and flip through or read through when you just want a little distraction or need some cat time. The caption for the art are quite funny. Some of it is difficult to read because not everyone has loved cats throughout history. Some cultures revered them. Some cultures feared them. If you don't want to read the sad facts, you can just skip them. It also makes me wonder why so many people thought cats could cure blindness. I guess because of their reputedly good night vision? This would make a nice coffee table book or gift for the cat lover.
