About This Book

This work is a comprehensive handbook for cat enthusiasts, combining historical overview, breed descriptions, and practical guidance on care, housing, and exhibiting. It surveys ancient and contemporary attitudes toward cats, details conformation points and many breed varieties—especially long-haired Persians by colour—then treats short-haired and regional types, neuter and Manx and Siamese forms, and American strains. Practical chapters cover kitten rearing, feeding, colour breeding, photography, and cattery management, and the volume concludes with discussion of cats’ place in nature and common diseases and treatments. Numerous plates and illustrations accompany the text.
