The best cat breeding book I have read extremely informative,
By Karen Thomson (karenthomson67@hotmail.com) (Melbourne,Australia.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book of Cat Breeding, The (Paperback)
It is generally the best information I have found and very easy to read and understand. I found the section on pregnancy and assisting with delivery, especially CPR very helpful in having the most successful litters. It is so good that I am ordering another copy for a very experienced breeder that also wanted a copy.

The Complete Book of Cat Breeding,
By Kimberly Pierce (Wyoming) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book of Cat Breeding, The (Paperback)
Excellent source for the novice breeder. Tells you in clear terms when to seek professional help. Explanations of medical situations done in clear,easily understood terms. Offers a very real view of the joys as well as some of the dangers of breeding pure bred cats. Helpful information on behavior of the queen, stud and new born kittens. Short and simple enough to act as an excellent resource during actual birthing.
