The cat-tastic companion to Dogs Who Changed the World.

50 awe-inspiring stories of cats who have altered history, inspired art and literature, reunited lost lovers, saved lives, or just ruined everything. These inspiring, humorous, heart-breaking, or just plain weird stories reveal why cats have earned their place as our weirdest, most endearing companions, and how our fascination with them is age-old.

Along the way, you'll meet Felicette, the first moggy in space; Unsinkable Sam, a sea-faring feline; Tama, the railway cat who saved a community; and Snowball, the crime-solving cat.

Cats Who Changed the World celebrates the unique relationship we have with our feline best friends, from contemporary times to all throughout history.
