Voor een kunstenaar vertegenwoordigt een poes de kunst zelf: aaibaar en gevaarlijk, sierlijk en sfinxachtig, zuiver en mysterieus. Toen Jan Wolkers als zesjarig jongetje van zijn streng gelovige vader hoorde dat dieren geen ziel hadden en dat zijn lapjeskat niet naar de hemel zou gaan, knapte er iets in hem. Hij kon niet meer geloven. Zonder dier geen hemels vertier. Dan ging hij net zo lief niet dood.” — Onno Blom — Katten zijn vandaag populairder dan ooit, maar waar komt die fascinatie vandaan? Welke rol speelden poezen in vroegere samenlevingen? Uit recent onderzoek blijkt dat de kat er zo’n 10.000 jaar geleden zelf voor heeft gekozen om zich aan de mens te binden. De Egyptische cultuur is de eerste die op grote schaal katten afbeeldt. Maar ook in andere religies komen katten aan bod: de profeet Mohammed had naar verluidt een speciale band met zijn kat en op Cyprus was er in de middeleeuwen een ‘kattenklooster’, waar monniken voor katten zorgden. Vanaf de twaalfde eeuw werden katten in Europa steeds meer geassocieerd met de duivel en hekserij. De duivel verscheen soms in de vorm van een kat en soms transformeerden heksenzelf in katten om ‘kattenkwaad’ uit te halen.Die slechte reputatie zou de kat nog eeuwenlang meedragen. Dit rijk geïllustreerde boek zet de unieke relatie tussen mens en kat in de kijker. Ook de bijzondere link tussen vrouwen en katten, de vaak schunnige dubbelebodems in kunstwerken en de tweeledigebetekenis van het woord ‘(stoei)poes’ worden uitgebreid belicht. Op een speelse, visuele manier gaan recente wetenschappelijke inzichten in dialoog met historische en hedendaagse kunst en fotografie. Negen hoofdstukken en meer dan 200 foto’s uit tal van internationale collecties bieden een blik op de kat als huisdier, god, duivel, vrouw, muze, collega, reus, Very Important Pussy en vriend.

This book has resulted from collaborative interactions between academic institutions and animal shelters. It contains a collection of eleven papers (one review and ten research articles) on the behavior of dogs and cats in animal shelters, which can be very challenging environments. The papers focus on stress and behaviors associated with stress; the effectiveness of shelter enrichment programs in reducing stress; the usefulness of shelter behavioral evaluations in predicting behavior and assessing adoptability; and interactions between humans and companion animals. The aim of this book is to provide information that will inform shelter programs and policies, and thereby improve the welfare of shelter animals.

This book includes a collection of publications describing the molecular etiology of inherited diseases and conditions in companion animals (dogs and cats). In addition to contributing to the health of companion animals, this research also benefits humans that have similar types of diseases.
