<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Cat Lover's Trivia</i> is an irresistible potpourri of feline facts, embracing the essential, the trivial, the intriguing, and the extraordinary.</b> <p/><i>Schott's Original Miscellany</i> was a publishing phenomenon. It sired a host of sequels and parodies. But no matter how patiently and for how many years they waited, the potential feline readership was overlooked. Until now. <p/><i>Cat Lover's Trivia</i> is how the original would have appeared had its creator been an obsessive cat owner. Or, indeed, a very curious cat. It <b>parodies the randomness of entry and stylishness of design</b> of the original, but is created entirely for cats and their obedient owners and admirers. The result is <b>a fascinating outpouring of feline facts</b>, including such gems as: </p><ul><li>Sir Isaac Newton's invention of the cat flap or kitty door </li><li>The origins and popularity of cat names</li><li>The power of catmint</li><li>How long cats spend asleep each day</li><li>T. S. Eliot's Practical Cats</li><li>And the famous Chopin waltz that was in fact composed by the composer's cat </li></ul><p><i>Cat Lover's Trivia</i> is the perfect coffee table book to give as a gift for cat lovers or addition to your library's satire section.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Mike Darton</b> is a writer and editor with a passion for words, a love of animals, and a fascination with animal-related words and phrases. His previous published titles include the collection of canine-inspired words and phrases <i>Dog the Wag</i>, and the dogcentric parody of <i>Schott's Original Miscellany</i>, the inimitable <i>A Dog-Lover's Miscellany</i>. </p>
