5.0 out of 5 stars persians, and other long haired cats, September 12, 2005

By	Jessecca Pond "wildpony" (saint louis, mo) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author is my great-auntie on my mother's side. She was a grand woman of her time.She was well known through the cat world. This book was written about most of her own cats and experiences throughout her life as a cat breeder. Her husband, Dr.P.N.ramsdale,was a well known veternarian in Long Beach, CA,also helped to write the 3 books she had published. They were fascinating people. I sure miss them. They both tragedly passed away almost 15 years ago. Great information books...

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book about Persian cats, March 13, 2007

By	Louise Engberg (Denmark) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Persian Cats and Other Longhairs (Hardcover)

If you are interested in cats, previously had Persians, have Persians now or are thinking about getting a Persian cat this is the book for you.

This is the absolute best book on Persian cats out there. Unsurpassed in its wealth of information - especially about breeding and colors. Hundreds of lovely pictures (both color and black/white). Anything you want to know about Persian cats is in here.

Jeanne Ramsdale bred chinchilla Persians (also called silver Persians) under the prefix - or cattery name - 'Dearheart'. Her cats were magnificent and to this day stand out for their exceptional beauty. Just to see the photos of these cats - the book is well worth buying.

Jeanne Ramsdale's love for the Persian cat is obvious throughout - the book is well written and always interesting. She writes knowingly about all aspects of cat care and breeding.

Most of the photos are from the 1960's and 1970's - so this book is also a great historical record about the Persian cat.

The 1976 edition is recommended - it comes in a revised edition with nice sturdy binding.

Highly recommended to any cat lover !
