Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This is a "how-to" and "what-it-is" book combined. What is important is that this book is a factual as well as entertaining account of the buying, feeding and general caring for the Burmese cat. The prose is clear enough for a young pet owner to read. The book abounds in illustrations, forty of them in full color, capturing many cat moods. -- Bookends - Journal of the Friends of the Reading-Berks Public Libraries, Vol. 15, No. 2, Mar/Apr 1997
From the Author
This book was a 1996 Winner of the Cat Writers' Association Certificate of Excellence.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative and the best Burmese book I've seen.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Burmese Cats (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
Even if you're a Burmese addict from way back and feel you know all there is to know about this breed this book is still a must for the library at home. The only shock I had was how 'squashed in' some of the faces of the American Burmese were, personally I felt they looked like aliens but each to their own (they don't look like this in New Zealand or Australia). The Blue on the cover has the same features as my little girl so that was the clincher in buying the book. You won't be disappointed in the content and it's such a good price. Well done.

Non-specific Cat Book,
By Melanie Ehler (Ann Arbor) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Burmese Cats (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
I bought this book from Amazon in good faith that it was specifically about Burmese cats. It is not! It is a book about cats in general, with the only Burmese-specific selling point being all its pretty pictures. And while the pictures are quite nice, I found they alone were not sufficient in replacing actual knowledge about Burmese cats. I wanted to learn about this particular breed, not just read very general cat facts that can easily be found in any sort of cat book. If you're going to buy this book -- don't! You can find alot more good information about Burmese cats (for free) by conducting internet searches.

Decent Book on the Burmese Breed,
By christin (minneapolis, mn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Burmese Cats (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book would mostly be of interest to someone who is unfamilar with the burmese breed. It has sound and informative information about burmese and cats in general, but it is definately at the "novice" level. The pictures are better than most (most pet books seem to have terribly unflattering pictures of burmese) and it is laid out well.If you are new to the burmese breed, this book is a good start.
