Throughout history, cats have been revered and reviled and everything in between, from the Ancient Egyptian Goddess Bastet to the cat demon yokai of Japan. They have been worshipped as divine, blamed for plague and pestilence, or labelled as the demonic companions of witches - whether fair or foul, no other animal has attracted such consistent attention.
Today, mankind is no less under their thrall, with cat memes, videos and celebrity cat accounts numbering among the highest-ranking entertainment across the internet. This cultural fascination, however, has a deep and rich history that spans continents and millennia. Discover within these pages the roots of this age-old captivation with our feline counterparts and why they have been loved - and maligned - by so many.
