This review is from: Beautiful Cats: The Most Popular Breeds (Paperback)

This book does have some beautiful photos indeed. I cannot speak of the other breeds, but as a Manx breeder, I was very disturbed at the description given for this particular breed. The statement made 'the crossing of two tailless cats will produce either no kittens or still-birth' is absolute rubbish!! Another ridiculous and misinformed comment was 'The Rumpy Manx has no trace of tail and has difficulty climbing and jumping.' I hate to think what the author may have got wrong on the other breeds!! Not very good for a book meant to inform the public. I was very disappointed indeed!!!
