There's something conceptually wonderful about a collective biography of cats, as it reminds us that they have always been a part of our mundane human lives. An opening double-spread perfectly captures this feeling with a time line of cat-related landmark moments, ranging from 7500 BCE to 2006 CE. From there, we get light, single-page biographies of more modern felines—mostly from the twentieth century—set opposite their illustrated portraits. Hamilton's playful text is perfectly accessible, expertly blending the cute with the courageous, and in between profiles she inserts informational sections that, among them all, account for a wealth of knowledge on subjects such as common cat superstitions, feline anatomy, lists of movie-star cats, and ways to help cats in need. As for the individual subjects, their stories are surprisingly enticing. The tales of Félicette, out-of-this-world astro cat; Snowball, the cat who solved a murder; Towser, the world's deadliest distillery cat (credited with 28,899 mouse kills); and Oscar, the cuddly grim reaper, will change the way readers view their furry friends. Grades 3-6. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
