The Quintessential Cat | 
pickAn encyclopedia about cats, this book is dated (early 1990s), but still I learned much I read stories I‘d never read before like Puss n Boots (loved it!). I learned the various iterations of the plague were often blamed on witches. (TW: animal cruelty) As a result hundreds of thousands of cats were tortured and burned alive—perpetuating the plague because there were no cats to kill the rats carrying plague fleas. The dated info made this ⬇️
Texreader Slightly less than a 5-star read. I‘ve now read books starting with all letters of the alphabet for #litsyatoz! #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #averymerryreadathon #Christmasmyway #wintercosy #dashingdecember @Clwojick @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @Jadams1776 @Clwojick @PuddleJumper @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES (edited) 2y
FlowerFairy Thank you for the TW! Animal abuse/cruelty is the one thing I cannot read. 2y
Nute Amazing, Karen! Though dated, it seems like a great source of information. The cover is stunning! 2y
Texreader @FlowerFairy The author is pretty good about giving the warning as well—for the worst of it she said to skip if necessary. The other section was on witchcraft, which was obviously going to be bad. It was only about 1% of the book thank heavens. 2y
