Review of Popular Cat Library: Guide to Owning an Abyssinian Cat by Judah Track
This book is the hardcover version of "The Guide to Owning an Abyssinian CatE by the same author. I'm quite disappointed that this was not pointed out in the general description on the Amazon.com site, as I purchased both books, thinking that they were different books! This book has nice, glossy photos, with several fine specimens of Abyssinian cats and kittens in various stages of development. The text is informative and detailed. It covers many areas Ehistory and development of the breed, temperament and conformation (in detail, too), feeding, grooming, health care, exhibitions, etc. etc. There are sections on the interactions between a new Aby and existing pets, or between a new Aby and children. Also, there is some good coaching on how to train or discipline your Aby. I also like the section on accessories, but I wish there were more details and ideas here. The book includes a general index, but it is too general to be of good use. There is no bibliography or suggestions on further reading, which I think is a miss. Overall I think it is a really good read for a first-time Aby owner, or someone considering to be one.
