Description
From the domestic tabby to the stately Siamese, cats have an almost universal appeal. Throughout history and across the world, they have held a special place in the human heart in practically all societies and cultures. The Cat is a cat book with a difference. Its scope makes it the ideal reference book, detailing everything any reader could wish to know about this most lovable of companions.
Starting with a brief account of the cat’s evolution linking with the chapter on wild cats which concludes the book- the contents of the book include sections on anatomy and behaviour, choosing a cat, daily care including feeding and training, reproduction and much more. The core of the book is an A – Z guide to the cat breeds of the world, illustrated throughout in full colour. As well as providing fascinating background information and detail, The Cat is also an intensely informative and practical guide to cat care, covering every aspect of the subject from the health of a kitten to the problems of ageing and general health.
Photographs, original artwork and specially commissioned diagrams combine with a lucid, authoritative text to make The Cat a worthy celebration of its subject and an indispensable addition to the bookshelves of all cat lovers.
