Cats may have been disdainfully looking down on humanity for tens of thousands of years, but they've also proved themselves to be adorable and enigmatic companions. They have been sent into space, sailed the seven seas, saved communities and solved crimes… or have just quietly and happily ruined everything. These 50 tales acknowledge our unbreakable relationship with the cat, the pet we love to hate, and their spirit, heroism and unending sense of mischief. Along the way we'll meet Socks, the stray who went from roaming the streets to walking the corridors of the White House. We'll discover Macak, who sparked Nikola Tesla's fascination with science, and luxuriate with Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld's thoroughly spoilt and well-loved companion. Cats Who Changed the World is a beautifully illustrated, heartwarming book that celebrates all cats and proves that every single one of them is absolute magic.
