Cat Myth

We have been connected to cats for more than 30 million years. To our prehistoricancestors cats were deadly predators of the night, and because of this ancient memory etched onto our DNA, cats epitomize our fear of the dark. Yet in addition to their connection to the dark and the shadows, their intelligence, sophisticated physical abilities, and finely tuned senses also led many cultures to view cats as connected to the spirit world.

In Top Ten Cat Myths Debunked: Separating Feline Fact from Fiction, author and feline behaviour expert Maeve Callen dismantles the ten most persistent—and potentially harmful—beliefs about cats. With warmth, clarity, and scientific insight, she replaces myth with truth, helping cat owners better understand their companions and make informed choices rooted in fact rather than folklore. Ever heard that “cats always land on their feet”? While cats do have an extraordinary righting reflex, they are not invincible, and serious injuries from falls are all too common.

As devoted cat owners, we want the best for our feline companions. For many of us, that love translates into small daily rituals: the sound of a can popping open, the meticulous measuring of kibble, or the quiet satisfaction of watching our cat enjoy their meal. We make these choices carefully, assuming we’re doing right by them. After all, nutrition is one of the most basic, tangible ways we show love.

By combining historical research, pop culture, art analyses, and original interviews, Cat Call explores the cat and its indivisible connection to femininity and teases out how this connection can help us better understand the relationship between myth, history, magic, womanhood in the digital age, and our beloved clawed companions.

Many people believe that, at its core, biological sex is a fundamental, diverging force in our development. According to this familiar story, differences between the sexes are shaped by past evolutionary pressures - women are more cautious and parenting-focused, men seek status to attract more mates - re-created in each generation by sex hormones and male and female brains. This, in turn, is the basis of supposedly entrenched inequalities in our modern societies.
