For all cat lovers, their behavior is both fascinating and frustrating. We think we understand them, but we do not. We think we own them, but they own us. We are like lovers who are constantly rebuffed and rejected because their main characteristic is indifference. We struggle with, and seek to break down, that indifference. Within the routine of places to sleep and things to eat, their lives proceed in slow, stately equanimity. So their languid self-possession becomes an emotional magnet for our affection. We flatter ourselves that we do know how they think, and even what motivates them. But the plain fact is that we have barely a clue. This book offers a few sketchy suggestions for the rules which govern their lives.

About the Author
David Walker trained as an architect in the UK. He gravitated to teaching architecture and design. In his middle career, he became a specialist in design management and innovation. Much of this work aimed to make designers more business-like and businessmen more creative. Creativity and Business: ‘A foot in both graves’ some might think.
He has lived for extended periods in Sydney, Boston, Ann Arbor, Hong Kong, and Auckland—where he now lives.
He draws for pleasure and therapy. And for the same reasons, he is the servile companion of two cats. In this book the two realms come together.
