CATS, CAT BREEDS & CAT CARE

Alan Edwards

This comprehensive book brings together veterinary-approved advice on cat care and a directory of the world's best-known cat breeds.

Part one, Caring for your Cat, opens with a brief history of the cat and covers every important topic that any responsible owner needs to be aware of. There is advice on buying and choosing a cat, inoculations for kittens, providing a safe environment indoors and out, and choosing equipment. There are also sections on feeding and nutrition, grooming and training, and essential health care.

Part two, The Breeds, is a comprehensive visual encyclopedia of all the main cat breeds, from ever-popular Persians and Shorthairs, to rarer breeds such as the Maine Coon Cat, Ocicat and Ragdoll. Throughout, clear images accompany the expert text, making this the perfect reference.

Alan Edwards was a judge for many years with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy in Great Britain and also frequently judged at international events. With his ex-wife, June, Alan bred British Shorthairs, Oriental Shorthairs, Siamese and Silver Persians under the prefix "Taliesin", which was granted to them in 1970.
