[edit] Information

Animal lover Joanna Lumley travels the globe to learn more about man's love affair with cats. As cat ownership outstrips the ownership of dogs in Britain, Joanna heads to Egypt - the nation which first forged a relationship with felines almost 4000 years ago - to learn why cats were revered as gods. In Belgium, she enjoys the entertaining spectacle of the world's biggest cat festival, and on a trip to Japan she hears the story that spawned the nation's cute cat craze, as well as superstitions and ghost stories about longtail cats. Finally, she heads to the Mayan jungle to seek out the mightiest of big cats - the jaguar.

From everyday companions to PAT (Pets as Therapy), cats can really enrich our lives. But in the last century, we have begun trying to change them to suit us. Joanna meets breeders who have created the tiny-legged Munchkins and crossed domestic cats with big cats. Plus she spends time with Hollywood legend Tippi Hedren, who rescues big cats from people who thought they would make good pets, and goes to Namibia to meet cheetah conservationist Dave Houghton.
