Коллектив авторов: Дикие кошки

Это же рассерженное создание, чья шерсть вздыблена, а все мышцы и нервы напряжены для прыжка на добычу, хотя и состоит в родстве со всеми дикими кошками, но на поверку оказывается нашей ласковой любимицей, ангорской кошкой. Домашняя кошка приспособилась к человеку и цивилизации гораздо успешнее всех своих диких родичей. Она везде чувствует себя прекрасно; в одних только США их насчитывается более 35 миллионов.
