📚 Cats

3 works · ordered by editions in print

The semi-domesticated hunter that moved in: breed, behaviour and care, and the strange fact that a cat chose the household more than we chose it.

Below are the 3 works carrying the subject cats in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats	T. S. Eliot	1939	24
The unadulterated cat	Terry Pratchett	1989	12
