4.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for owners of Scottish Fold cats or kittens., January 25, 1999
By A Customer
As new owners of this unique breed, we needed a book that explained everything from care to communication and personality. This book has it all. Especially helpful was the section on communication where we learned not only how to communicate with our new Fold, but also what our Fold was telling us through his body language. This book definitely helped us welcome our pet into his new home, and facilitated bonding between pet and owner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Seems more like a textbook than an earnest owner's manual, December 27, 2001
By Just Bill (Grand Rapids, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I recently bought a Scottish Fold. (Partly because they look so darn cute and partly -- okay mostly -- because of Peter Gether's Norton books.) Being the "completist" that I am (some prefer the term obsessive), I had to buy this book too to make sure all was well with Bradbury (yeah, he's named after the famous author).

Unfortunately, Maggitti's book doesn't really satisfy my passion and curiosity for this fascinating breed of feline.

For one thing, the book seems slightly outdated. And the pages look -- and often read -- like those of a textbook. Plus, the information seems superficial, almost too basic (even for a feline newbie like myself).

In other words, don't expect a lot of passion and humor and a breezy, conversational style. Expect some fairly good information. Expect a slightly detached (read: dry) presentation of facts. Expect a reference book that'll likely sit on your shelf gathering dust once you've flipped through it once.

Since there are very few books available strictly about the Scottish Fold breed, you're pretty much stuck with this book or nothing. And, given that choice, I'd say go ahead and buy this book. It's really not as bad as I'm making it out to be. (But it's not a whole lot better, either.)

The bottom line: Until someone comes along to write an "owner's manual" book as fun as the Scottish Fold breed of cat, I suggest you turn to Peter Gether's three books: The Cat Who Went To Paris...A Cat Abroad: The Further Adventures of The Cat Who Went to Paris and His Human...and The Cat Who'll Live Forever: The Final Adventures of Norton, The Perfect Cat and His Imperfect Human.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good introduction, February 8, 2002
By fezabel (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
I was given this book when I was given my cat, Mara Jade. The book was for 2 main reasons. One was to explain and understand this most loveable breed. The other was to show off my cat's grandfather, who is one of the champion Scottish Folds showcased in the book. It is a good book for new owners.
