FROM THE PUBLISHER

Meet Martini, personal feline of mystery writers Frances and Richard Lockridge. She is the cat that lurks in the shadows of every Mr. and Mrs. North mystery, and the inspiration behind Cats and People, the Lockridges' revealing foray into the elusive and sometimes confounding mind of the cat. With them we witness the cat as god and devil as the crony of witches and prophets, and, of course, as our cherished companions. We are afforded an intriguing exploration of the cat's place in nature, the cat's relationship to humans, and the cat in love. The value of the cat as a mousetrap is examined from every viewpoint, including that of the mouse. Along the way the Lockridges share amusing anecdotes and witty references to their numerous feline acquaintances, including their own personal favorites, Martini, Gin, and Sherry.
