Welcome To Aileurophilia



Aileurophilia: the love of cats; cat madness. Originated from the Greek word for ferret, an animal that used to catch rats.

Welcome, all feline fanciers, kitty slaves and fellow aileurophiles. Welcome to Aileurophilia, a site dedicated to that exquisite animal, the cat. I am your webmistress, yet another victim of the charms and guiles of the feline race, paticularly those of my own kitty, Misty. Although thought crazy, evil or weird for centuries, today us cat-lovers are in high company. Many famous, wise and respected people share our passion for felis domestocus. And rightly so. The cat is truly the most remarkable creature on this planet. Stunningly beautiful, dazzlingly intelligent, marvellously graceful and incredibly charismatic. What other animal was once worshipped as a god? What other animal saved Europe from rat-induced plague? What other animal is a queen, a goddess, a child, an advisor, a master and a friend in one? Only the cat. They are more than worthy of our endless gushing!

In this site, you will find many things of interest. Informative articles on different cat-related subjects, cat quotes, cat superstitions, recommended cat reading and a profile on my own cat goddess. And more things will be added soon!

Enjoy your stay at Aileurophilia!
