家貓是獅子的表親，是「新萬獸之王」，其數量正在爆炸； 無論溫馴或野性，宅居還是在外遊蕩， 都正逐步主宰自然與城市，文化和潮流趨勢； 就許多層面來看，牠們儼然成為人類的統治者。 事實是，我們對貓情有獨鍾。我們的文化——無論是網路還是實體世界——都被貓「瘋」潮席捲。明星貓咪可以出書、簽訂電影合約、募捐善款，人們搶著在其臉書粉絲專頁按讚，或付費在一群隨意走動的貓之間品味咖啡。我們承認自己愛貓，卻不甚了解牠們最初是如何走進客廳，跳上床鋪。尤其是，我們能從貓身上得到的利益非常少，牠們既不是稱職的警衛，也不會下美味的蛋，更別說成為坐騎。所以，我們到底為什麼養牠們，還養了幾億隻？ 這道題目特別刁鑽，因為貓這種備受珍寵的動物，同時也被歸類在世界百大入侵種之列，背負著破壞生態系統、甚至造成部分瀕危動物滅絕的罪名。澳洲科學家形容，流浪貓對當地哺乳動物的危害，更甚於全球暖化或棲地消失。困惑的動物愛好者有時難以抉擇，到底該在罐頭鮭魚淋上法式酸奶油、用湯匙餵給貓咪吃好呢，還是應該鐵了心，永遠不再理牠們？ 作者為著名科學記者兼資深貓奴，親身採訪數十位來自各界的學者專家，從加州天然瀝青坑中保存著一萬多年來的大型貓科動物化石談起，層層爬梳家貓與野化貓對於生態環境的威脅、以牠們為宿主的傳染疾病、TNR與安樂死的爭議，以及古埃及迄今的養貓文化、育種與販賣史、現代人貓關係，直到網紅人氣貓如何征服虛擬世界……娓娓道出人貓從敵對到共居屋簷下的奇妙過程。 貓臉之下還有什麼我們不知道的事： 人類從吃素轉為吃肉，可能和貓有關？ 我們之所以為貓痴狂，是因為牠們長得像人？ 家貓是自己選擇了被馴化？ 貓在中世紀是殘酷刑具，二戰後又成了情報金牌特務？ 養貓不但無益身心療癒，還可能讓飼主病情加劇？ 我們難以抗拒貓的吸引力，全因腦中的某種寄生蟲？ 育種者的終極夢想，是培育出外表狂野但內心溫順的大貓？ 備受爭議的TNR其實全是「貓囤積症」患者的一廂情願？ 【好評推薦】 「充滿驚喜，就如所有暢銷的非虛構文學作品一樣，令人對自身所處的世界反思再三。」 ——伊麗莎白．寇伯特Elizabeth...
