About this eBook

Author Stables, Gordon, 1840-1910
Title The Domestic Cat
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "The Domestic Cat" by Gordon Stables is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work explores the classification, characteristics, and behaviors of domestic cats, delving into their anatomy, breeds, and their differences from dogs. Stables aims to provide a thorough understanding of the feline species through observations and anecdotes gathered over years of study. At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of classification in the animal kingdom, contrasting the vast diversity found in dog breeds with the relatively uniform characteristics among cats. Stables emphasizes that domesticated cats appear to share a common ancestry, leading to minimal distinctive breeds compared to dogs. He reflects on the historical perspectives surrounding cats and their domestication, considers the roles of color and size in classification, and asserts that fundamental characteristics remain consistent across various types of domestic cats. The opening serves as a foundation for further insights into cat behavior, habits, and care in subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
