Reigning cats and dogs par Katharine MacDonogh
A fun look at the pets attached to various royal courts since the Renaissance. Mostly cats and dogs are listed, although there is a chapter on (human) dwarfs. Would have been interesting to have included pets such as parrots and other birds, and horses (but then I suppose the title would not have been as punny).
Interesting look at the, mostly dogs, along with cats and other pets of various Monarchs. It has a little on the political side of some breeds of Dogs and the effect of the Inquisition on the cat population.
A bit superficial tho, I occasionally wanted more.
