5.0 out of 5 stars Every cat owner should own one, June 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Book of the Cat (Paperback)

This book's been out of print for a while now. I can't really understand why this should be. It's one of the best cat books for both information and illustrations. Just ask any cat fancier..

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic - Like no other, July 9, 2002

J. L. Mills (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Book of the Cat (Paperback)

I just bought a used version of this (I can't believe it's out of print) to replace one I lost. It's an extraordinary resource. A wealth of fascinating information on behavior, care, breeds, genetics, etc. Not the least bit dry, it is presented with clear and intriguing narratives and fun illustrations. And the original paintings by Peter Warner are exceptional. Someone update and republish this!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, how sad it's out of print, October 19, 2005

Gayle P. Nastasi "gayze" (Middleburgh, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Book of the Cat (Paperback)

I came hoping to replace my original copy of THE BOOK OF THE CAT, which I've had since the early '80s and is getting rather ragged. What a disappointment to hear it's out of print! The best, and easiest for a lay-person to follow, source of info on cat color genetics ever printed, and that is only one of many benefits to this great old resource.
