  Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has an instinct for animals and what makes them behave the way they do. This time her subject is felines - house cats and their wild siblings - and the kinds of bonds they form with us and with each other. The book begins by examining just what cats are (meat-eaters, first and foremost) and their images of themselves in relation to humans. Next, it traces cat culture as it evolved through the ages. Finally, the book examines cats on their own and together.

  What do cats want. What are they really thinking? And How do they view us? Elizabeth Marshall Thomas's instinct for understanding what makes animals behave the way they do made THE HIDDEN LIFE OF DOGS a worldwide bestseller. In TRIBE OF THE TIGER, she now turns her attention on felines, both large and small, domestic and wild. She looks at the bonds they form with humans and with each other, and how the hunting instinct of cats in the wild is reflected in the behaviour of domesticated animals. Do cats have emotions, and if so, how are they expressed? Why do cats purr? In this fascinating book - a must for all cat lovers - Elizabeth Marshall Thomas sheds light on these intriguing questions and many more.
