The Little Guides CATS .......... Molly's Reviews

Informative Read ........Highly Recommended 5 stars The Review The Little Guides: CATS is a 320-page work divided into three sections. Part 1: 55 pages `All About Cats,' presents a synopsis of the modern 36 species cat family. Section two: 145 pages: is the `Cats as Pets' segment and includes information important to those who choose to be owned by a domesticated cat. Section three: 70 pages: offers more detailed information pertaining to particular breeds of cats. As a cat owner and cat lover myself I particularly enjoyed this book. Excellent choice for cat owners or one considering becoming a cat owner. Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend.

A Great book for cat lovers!

This book is a great guide to cats. It comes in handy if you want to adopt a cat or kitten. You should look for other books in this series!

Very Nice Picture Reference Book

This handy little book has a tremendous amount of information on cats. Every breed is displayed including wild cats. Information on caring for cats is included. If you have never owned a cat and are contemplating adopting one this is an excellent reference book to have. If you are a cat owner you will learn things you never knew.

A nice reference for cat lovers and cat owners

"The Little Guides: Cats" is intended primarily as an informative reference book for cat owners, although, as a cat lover, I also enjoyed just browsing it for interesting tid-bits.The book is divided into three parts: 1) All About Cats (20 pages): This section talks about the biological history of cats, cats in general, and cats in the wild. 2) Cats as Pets (146 pages): The heart of the book, this section discusses cat health, behaviour, and ownership. 3) Cat Breeds (104 pages): A catalog of different short haired and long haired cats.The book ends with a glossary, and information directory, and a very useful index.This is certainly not the most detailed book on cats available. In that respect it may be more useful to inexperienced pet owners or else as a handy reference. Still, the book does cover most of the issues that pet owners will face, including litter-pan training, common diseases, and pregnancy, to name a few.Often the book will be directed a bit more to pedigreed cats than mixed breeds. The book includes information about showing your cat and the extensive catalog of breeds. The cat care section, though, is equally applicable to any cat.Throughout the book has lots and lots of good pictures as well as clear diagrams. The text is clear and well written.All in all, an enjoyable little book for cat lovers and a useful guide for cat owners.
