"Informal but informative, this may be used as a manual, yet it will be relished by the nonaelurophile as extra-specially good nonfiction," said LJ's reviewer of this analysis of felines by the couple who were better known for their many mystery novels (LJ 8/50).

Review
Readers will meet Martini, personal feline of mystery writers Frances and Richard Lockridge. She is the cat that lurks in the shadows of every Mr. & Mrs. North mystery, and the inspiration behind Cats And People, a revealing foray into the elusive and sometimes confounding mind of the cat. In this definitive classic on the feline mind, we are afforded an intriguing exploration of the cat's place in nature the cat's relationship to humans, even the cat in love. The Lockridges share amusing anecdotes and witty references to their numerous feline acquaintances, and with them we witness the cat as god and devil, as the crony of witches and prophets, and, of course, as our cherished companions. Cats And People is "must" reading for all cat fanciers and friends. -- Midwest Book Review
