Loved This Very Nice Encyclopedia of Cats!

I found this to be a very comprehensive, very interesting book on cats. I was engrossed for an hour and a half before I looked up from this book. Luckily, I had my cat with me to make me pet him every once in awhile, just to prove I was alive. I learned alot about cats and enjoyed this book also. I will use it in my classroom as my students love nonfiction books to peruse through and enjoy. They come from other countries and often have had experiences with cats in their countries they enjoy sharing. Recommended.

Useful tool in cat knowledge

I appreciated the beautiful pictures & illustrations not only of the different breeds, but pictures of cats in their environments & their displays of behaviors. The information on the anatomy of a cat has been very useful in my caring for two cats that I have adopted. It's a perfect compliment to another publication on cats that I recently purchased. The encyclopedia has been very useful in helping me raise my cats.
