This review is from: The Russian Blue Cat (Paperback)

This is a book by someone who cares passionately that animals in general and the Russian Blue breed in particular are understood and well treated by their human companions. The 20+ years Ms. Urcia has spent breeding and studying these beautiful cats has resulted in an in-depth knowledge of her subject. She has put her knowledge to good use in her breeding methods and has kept this uncommon breed healthy and true to type. As the lucky "owner" of one of her cattery's Russian Blues, I marvel daily at his beauty, his intelligence, his energy and humor. Ms. Urcia's cats are lovingly hand-raised in her own house and result in the most well-adjusted, sweetest-tempered, happiest cats I have ever seen. She makes sure that her kittens go to loving homes where they are cared for properly. I wish all breeders of any animal were as knowledgeable, as careful and as ethical as she.

This review is from: The Russian Blue Cat (Paperback)

As a breeder of these lovely cats since the mid-80's I'm very happy to say that her second book on the Russian Blue is even better then her first. Ingeborg's books are the only books that I've come across that provide factual and accurate information on this lovely and elegant breed.

I found this book to have a vast amount of information about the history and characteristics of the Russian Blue. It also gives general care and helpful hints when caring for this breed. It is a must read for anyone wanting to learn more about this regal breed. Great research!
