Narrated by Eleanor Bron

Most people have strong feelings about cats; you either like them or dislike them. But few of us have ever glimpsed the private, undomestic world of the ordinary cat. So a unique field study was set up by the BBC and Oxford University, in the heart of the Devon countryside. On open farm-land and away from the shelter of human influence, four feral cats - a mature tom and three females - were studied for a year. In charge of the project was David Macdonald and Peter Apps, who has been able to piece together a picture of the cat in the wild which will make us all think quite differently about an animal which for centuries we have taken for granted.
