Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a "how-to" and "what-it-is" book combined. What is important is that this book is a factual as well as entertaining account of the buying, feeding and general caring for the Burmese cat. The prose is clear enough for a young pet owner to read. The book abounds in illustrations, forty of them in full color, capturing many cat moods. -- Bookends - Journal of the Friends of the Reading-Berks Public Libraries, Vol. 15, No. 2, Mar/Apr 1997


Product Description

Here is information on the history of the Burmese cat, its special behavior traits, and how to keep it as a healthy and contented pet. Information on selection, feeding, and health care is supplemented with dozens of full-color photos and informative line drawings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and the best Burmese book I've seen., November 1, 1999
By A Customer
Even if you're a Burmese addict from way back and feel you know all there is to know about this breed this book is still a must for the library at home. The only shock I had was how 'squashed in' some of the faces of the American Burmese were, personally I felt they looked like aliens but each to their own (they don't look like this in New Zealand or Australia). The Blue on the cover has the same features as my little girl so that was the clincher in buying the book. You won't be disappointed in the content and it's such a good price. Well done.

1.0 out of 5 stars Non-specific Cat Book, December 16, 2002
By Melanie Ehler (Ann Arbor) - See all my reviews
I bought this book from Amazon in good faith that it was specifically about Burmese cats. It is not! It is a book about cats in general, with the only Burmese-specific selling point being all its pretty pictures. And while the pictures are quite nice, I found they alone were not sufficient in replacing actual knowledge about Burmese cats. I wanted to learn about this particular breed, not just read very general cat facts that can easily be found in any sort of cat book. If you're going to buy this book -- don't! You can find alot more good information about Burmese cats (for free) by conducting internet searches.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Book on the Burmese Breed, January 23, 2004
By christin (minneapolis, mn) - See all my reviews
This book would mostly be of interest to someone who is unfamilar with the burmese breed. It has sound and informative information about burmese and cats in general, but it is definately at the "novice" level. The pictures are better than most (most pet books seem to have terribly unflattering pictures of burmese) and it is laid out well.

If you are new to the burmese breed, this book is a good start.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is just a very basic book about cats
This is just a generic book about cats, not breed specific, except for the photos. they wrote a cat book template, and just typed in the word "Burmese" as opposed to some other... Read more
