5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about those mutant cats!, February 20, 2001

By	Angela Past (Beverly Hills, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a wonderful reference for the Cornish Rex owner (really someone owned by a Cornish Rex!) or for people considering taking one of these balls of energy and loving, non-stop attention into their lives. These cats are a little different... and Greta Huls takes you through background, grooming, feeding, healthcare and breed standards in a very interesting, straightforward and informative way. For instance, the information on the breed's intolerance to pre-op drugs is invaluable and possibly a lifesaver. In addition, the wonderful photographs perfectly illustrate the Cornish Rex's beauty and character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greta Huls Knows Her Cornish Rex!, February 20, 2001

By	Arthur L. Nadelman "Media Center Lover" (Bradenton, FL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Greta Huls has done an outstanding job in presenting the Cornish Rex in this book. She has prepared the reader well for the fun times ahead with this unique breed of cat.

The beautiful pictures in this book show a wide variety of Cornish Rex colors, sizes and types.

Her book is informative to both the novice and the experienced Cornish Rex owner and breeder. I have used information from this book in my own breeding program.

This book should be owned by every Cornish Rex owner and is the ideal gift for every Cornish Rex breeder for the new owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars it answered breed-specific questions, February 21, 2001

By	TechRooster (NJ USA) - See all my reviews

when i first got my two cornish rex, i read all that i could find on the cornish rex breed, and i discovered that there were no comprehensive books on them. i really needed some tips + how-to's specific to rexes. fortunately, greta's book provides that. the text is informative and easy to read, as well as entertaining. thanks, greta! from one owner who's happier + a little more confident in her cat care now.
