The Cat Did It - by Nancy Silcox (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

You'll be amazed by these stories of incredible felines from Canada.

Travel the country -- from Newfoundland to the Yukon to the shores of British Columbia -- to meet over forty Canadian cats that ski the Rockies, ride the Pacific waves, inspire writers, save lives, sing on albums, and even run for election. Learn some Canadian cat history along the way: What politician brought the first house cat to Canada? What faithful cat-panion saved a woman abandoned by crewmates in the Arctic? What is the only cat breed developed in Canada? And why do marmalade cats often have six toes? Stop and visit the best cat cafés in Canada, too, with a couple of cat lovers.

Meet the fuzziest, smartest, bravest, most delightful cats -- orange cats, striped cats, cats with no fur, fat cats, six-legged cats, and many more -- in this cross-Canada book, including the one and only Nico, pet to Prime Minister Mark Carney.
