Overview: The ancient Egyptians worshiped the cat, probably for its mouse-catching abilities, so important in a grain-dependent society. In the medieval period, cats were associated with witchcraft, and many people believed until a century ago that witches and evil spirits could transform themselves into cats, in order to spy on us. And of course, people have always felt a particular foreboding for the black cat.
Purr-fect Crime is a collection of our finest mystery writer’s instincts regarding our feline friends. You’ll see the cat featured prominently in stories by authors from Edgar Allan Poe to Dorothy Sayers. The cat may not be the villain, nor the hero. It may simply be there, watching. . .
