A gripping epic of feline survival ... The Australian feral cat is very much a product of human carelessness at best and callousness at worst. As truly wild as the great cats of Africa and Asia, the feral cat is perhaps the most successful predator in the Australian bush - and a growing threat to the rare native marsupials, birds and reptiles. Its agility, speed, hunting acumen and lack of natural predators make it one of that country's most destructive introduced species, and naturalists and conservationists see its eradication as vital but unlikely. Love it or hate it, the cat is a world-class survivor! This is the story of such a cat, seen partly through the cat's own eyes and partly through those of an old bushman who is fascinated by a creature his logic tells him he should hate and despise. The cat's life-long fight for survival is an elemental story of the animal world, its interplay with the world of humans, and of the natural forces which shape both.
