Harrison Weir wrote his book, Our Cats and All About Them, in 1892 with it being published in 1889. Weir was a “cat person” and well known as an expert in cats and this is shown in the books sub-header: “Their Varieties, Habits, and Management; and for Show, the Standard of Excellence and Beauty”. With such an interest pet/show cats Weir obviously looked at the wild variety and it is his section of wild cats that is the subject of this paper and unlike many of the reprinted versions of the book in modern times this paper includes the illustrations.
