This review is from: Favorite Cat Breeds Poster (Posters) (Poster)

This is a very nice poster for identifying the major cat breeds. I don't like that some of the cats look too similar. I think more characteristic cats that showed off their differences better would have been better though. But I do like that the full breed name is listed. It isn't just a "Siamese", but a "Seal Point Siamese" (seal meaning the color, point meaning the marks being at the ears, nose, feet and tail).

If you want to know more about cats I'd highly recommend a good guide to go with this that would tell you more, for instance, that the points on a Siamese is actually a form of Albinism (Albino) and that the color only shows up on the cooler parts of the body and everything else is lighter, this is also why they have blue eyes. Or perhaps that Himalyans are actually a cross between Persions and Siamese, that is why they look like a Persian, but have the markings of a Siamese.

This poster is very clear. The names aren't very large, but are clearly stated and the poster quality itself is very good. It is a typical laminated poster.

It comes from Amazon rolled up in a tube, but mine was quite roughed up. This might be because the end of the tube was missing when it arrived and someone may have taken it out and looked at it. You may want to keep this in mind when ordering if you need it without creases. I think Amazon should have sealed the tub better.

I personally bought this poster to make flash cards for my child who is doing Glenn Domann's Bits of Intellegence program. The cat pictures are large, clear, and non-abiguous and so they work perfectly. I would have only prefered the background to be white rather than blue. I really hope they make more posters like this of other animals. I'd buy them all.

I'm giving this 4 rather than 5 stars because of the blue background and because I would have liked the cat pictures to have been a little more different from one another.
