The Ultimate Guide to Cat Breeds

By Louisa Somerville

Book Overview

Cats have been domesticated since prehistoric times, perhaps for as long as 5,000 years. Throughout human history, they have been greatly valued as destroyers of vermin, as well as for their ornamental qualities. The domestic cat is related to lions, tigers, pumas and other wild cats and the similarity in looks and behaviour is immediately apparent. The Ultimate Guide to Cat Breeds has a lot of rich information about the most well known cat breeds in the world, such as Persian, Maine Coon, Siamese, Abyssinian, Russian Blue, Tonkinese, and Burmese.

Best in Breeds

This is by far the best and most comprehensive book I have ever seen for Cat Breed Identification. Very helpful when there are so many cross breeds.
