The right cat in the right household is a very special and enduring friend. Here is a book that is all about cats, presented in a style as entertaining as it is factually reliable and accessible to the nonexpert. The author discusses traits that are typical among all felines, then goes on to describe specific characteristics of specific breeds. Here too is essential information on health care, including vaccination schedules and recommendations for healthful and nutritious feeding. Toys and accessories are suggested for keeping cats amused and amusing -- and charts and sidebars provide readers with quick-reference tips. Vivid color photos and handsome line art on nearly every page show cats at play, around the house -- and simply being good friends and companions to their owners.
