2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Spectacular, March 15, 2006
I had recently got the cutest little Persian Kitten. As a new cat owner I purchased this book to get information specific to the breed. Outside a few pages of breed information, history and pictures, everything else was just general cat information. I would have expected more on breed care, grooming, and health concerns.

2.0 out of 5 stars very short and sweet, April 11, 2007
This book covers ALL cats in general, it's not specific enough for Persians.
Dissappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrifc novice Persian Book!, June 8, 2005
I never thought I'd want or own a cat, until one evening in December when an under fed, Persian kitten decided to adopt our family.

I got 2 Persian books based on the Amazon reviews, and out of the 2 this book was the best for me. It does have beautiful photos, but to me the information in this book was priceless seeing that I knew nothing about cats. I do wish there was a section on what to do if you've been "adopted" by your kitten or cat that also gives some basic cat care that could apply to Persians and other breeds for people like myself who know nothing about cats.

This book also has only 5 pages on breeding & care of kittens and only 1 small page on showing your cat, which was perfect for me since our cat will only be a family cat! If you are planning on breeding and showing your cat you might want to pick up Guide to Owning a Persian Cat by Juliet Seymour since it goes into much more detail than this book. If your cat is destined to be the family lap cat, this is the book for you!

PS: Our kitten is just the sweetest, talking kitten that made me the dog lover that I am, just in love my cat!
