4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, SIMPLE, ENJOYABLE READING ABOUT HIMMIES, August 16, 1999

phtmangels@aol.com (SAN MATEO, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Himalayan Cats (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

A MUST TO ADD TO YOUR HIMALAYAN LIBRARY. I GIVE THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE WHO PURCHASES ONE OF MY HIMMIES. THIS IS AN INFORMATIVE, EASY READING, AND EXCELLENT REFERENCE FOR FIRST TIMERS OF THIS WONDERFUL BREED. LOTS OF WONDERFUL COLOR PICTURES OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CATS. SOME OF THE CATS HAVE THE "EXTREME FACES" AND SOME HAVE THE "BABY DOLL" FACES. A GOOD BOOK WITH LOTS OF PICS TO SEE WHICH LOOK YOU LIKE BETTER. HAPPY READING!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for anyone who has a Himalayan cat!, March 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Himalayan Cats (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

I just got two Himalyan adult cats and bought this book. As soon as the book arrived, I began applying some of the cat care hints, such as how to care for their long hair. I also appreciated knowing the origin of Himalayans (Persian + Siamese), because it explains much about their personality/intelligence. I recommend the book for anyone who is getting, or already has, a Himalayan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple & Straight forward, October 30, 2003

Y. BASS (Chicago) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Himalayan Cats (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

I recently bought a flame point breeder/show quality himalayan kitten and was very interested in what the book had to say.

The book is very informative and straight forward in telling the origins of how himmies came about, how to care, treat, nurse the cats.

It covers kittens behaviours, sexual behaviour, guides you in how to choose a breeder and questions to ask, how to breed and show your himmy so all in all, it's a pretty informative manual with glossy pics of some beautiful himmies and regular black/white illustrations.

You won't be disappointed!
