Summary:
"Delves deeply into all things feline, from the domestication of cats and the development of pure breeds to the anatomy and genetics of felines. Between its two covers are all aspects of cat care and ownership, bejeweled with fun tidbits and trivia. The book begins with a detailed history of the modern cat, including the noble big cats of the wild and the small domesticated cats adored indoors. The author discusses cat welfare and rescue, and the tragedy of stray and feral cats in our communities. The development of cat breeds and the genetics of purebred cats and the essential physical characteristics of the cat, including body types, coat types, colors, and patterns. The book presents seventy-five breeds of cat from the familiar Siamese and Persian to the lesser known Australian Mist and Pixie Bob, describing their origins, breed standards, personalities, all accompanied by dazzling color photography. The book discusses cat ownership, covering important topics such as finding a kitten, choosing between breeders and shelters, achieving the right feline match for your family, bringing the cat into a new home, cat-proofing and safety around the house, and shopping for supplies for the new cat"--Provided by publisher.
