This is a humorous tome that celebrates cats in medieval artwork from 500 to 1500. Initially, cats were depicted as lazy, selfish, and vicious. However, these masterpieces now shine a light on the dark age of cats and tell a new story of their paw-some glory. It features over 100 cats who are up to no good, including bum-licking and cat-fighting. It also includes cat facts from the Middle Ages, poems, and excerpts from literature such as The Canterbury Tales, Shakespeare, and illustrated medieval manuscripts. Medieval Cats is a perfect bedside companion for cat lovers and a peek into medieval art and literature.
