Primera línea

Whenever the subject comes up, and it may be said, speaking with moderation, that if comes up forty times a day, some one invariably declares, "No, I don't like cats, I like dogs."

Reseñas en medios

"Every lover of cats should own this book...the best single treatise on the cat, spiritually rather than biologically considered, that we have ever seen."--Chicago Evening Post

"The Tiger in the House is absolutely fascinating. As a matter of fact, it is a treasure house. The little scraps of literary gossip in it alone make it absolutely indispensable for anyone who likes to explore the hedgy bypaths of an author's life and thoughts. I wouldn't be without it for anything."--Chicago Tribune

"At last the cat has a book worthy of him...luxurious, regal, self-certain, and complete."--New York Evening Post

Carl Van Vechten wrote "what many think the two best books about cats ever published, Lords of the Housetops and The Tiger in the House."--The Chicago Daily Tribune
