Summary: for those who appreciate the fabulous feline
Comment: This is a book that has lovely cat photography, and it also has a lot of interesting and useful information.
Part One, "The Development of the Cat", is about the evolution, history, and "The Worldwide Spread of Cats", which is a fascinating chapter, showing how they were exported from Egypt to the Roman world, and beyond.
Part Two: "The Breeds of the World", with photos, history, and color patterns of a myriad of common and rare felines.

Part Three: "Physiology and Behavior", with an excellent skeletal diagram, and descriptons of everything from the digestive system to the fur, a cat's senses, mating and reproduction, kittenhood, and more.
Four: "Care of the Cat"; from choosing a cat, preparing the home for its arrival, feeding, care and training, grooming, and more.
Five: "Health". Accidents and first aid, symptoms of illness, diseases, parasites, and more.
Part Six is about showing your cat, and what it takes to enter a show.

With a good layout, and extensively illustrated in color, it is well written by Angela Sayer, who is a breeder and judge of cats, and freelancer Howard Loxton. They both have much knowledge on this subject, and with the exception of a typo on page 149 (reversed captions on photos), have given those of us who love and respect our four pawed friends a winner with this volume.

Summary: The best catbook ever
Comment: I have been to the local bookstore twice just to get a look into this book. The pictures are just amazing and often captured the moment. For first-time catowner, more experienced owner or just catlovers this book gives you much of the information you need. Again the pictures are the best part of the book.
