Incredible Little Book!

I absolutely adore this book! It has so many facts...I learned so much! Especially about cat markings, what cats symbolize, and how black cats are actually more tame and affectionate. This book highlights the history of cats, all the way from ancient Egypt, to the medieval era, to the pilgrims, to today. It also covers important matters like de-clawing, and spaying/neutering. It has so many colorful photos, several on each page! This book would be perfect for a vet, a cat owner, or just a cat lover! Even those who DON'T like cats would like this book! I take it with me to work everyday, so I can read it on my breaks. It's absolutely fascinating!

Gorgeous book full of interesting and amazing facts and stories about cats

I LOVED this book. The photos, illustrations, fonts and design make it a pleasure to peruse. It's full colour too, so it's very eye-catching. I'm a fussy designer so I really appreciate good design, but everyone will notice that this book looks simply amazing. I also found the book to be extremely well organized and the facts were fascinating. Did you know there's a Meowlingual device for understanding cat vocalizations? The book also includes tales of ghost cats and feline heroes, and even a section on cat collectibles. This is in addition to all of the standard things you'd expect to read about such as different breeds, cat social structure, and food to name a few. If you're looking for a purrfect gift for the cat lover in your life, I'd highly recommend this book.
