Summary: "The Book of Cats" by Charles H. Ross is a collection of whimsical anecdotes, observations, and facts about felines, written in the late 19th century. This engaging work seeks to explore the cultural, historical, and humorous aspects of cats while dispelling common myths and misconceptions. Ross presents a delightful narrative that takes readers through various kinds of cats and the legendary stories surrounding them.

Despite their skepticism, he dives into extensive research and showcases his findings, critiquing previous accounts that portray cats negatively.
