The Cat's Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa by Jonathan B. Losos

4.5

A solid 4.5. Started off strong (I enjoyed the “meow” chapter). I got bogged down in some of the species details a few chapters in, and I was irritated by the author saying “more research is needed” several times early on. But I’m glad I kept going, because there were so many explorations of interesting topics — many of which I felt compelled to share with my family. My early concerns about it perhaps being poorly-researched were way off. And the science was almost always explained in a way that was both interesting and easy to follow. My favorite kind of non-fiction book!
