At the center of their stories is Miu, an Egyptian cat-- one of the earliest to be domesticated-- through whom Robert Peris ic channels a deeply profound and beautiful understanding of animal and human behaviors as seen through the results of language, warfare, colonization, trade, and the building of a society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVesna Maric\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, in 1976 and left at sixteen as part of a convoy of refugees.
