Siamese Cats (Hardcover)

~ Ron Reagan (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Though intended for owners of Siamese cats, most of the suggestions made here apply equally well to other breeds and to common domestic cats: how to choose your pet, how to feed and care for it and how to breed it. Cat-fancier Reagan goes into detail throughout (included in his medical advice are instructions on how to give artificial respiration to a cat). He writes crisply, with a minimum of fluffy adulation. Some points can be argued, such as his warning that cat owners should keep no indoor plants, because some are toxic when eaten by cats, and his sternly worded plea that cats, whether in cities, suburbs or even small towns, not be allowed to run free outdoors, since they are defenseless against dogs, cars, insect-borne disease and cat thieves. These claims will strike some as extreme, and the 60-plus photographs are a mixed bag. Still, this is a concise and practical guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of information with color photos., August 22, 1999

By A Customer

I got this book after my Siamese cat had died and before I could find a new one. It took me 6 months to find one, and in the meantime, I spent lots of time looking at this book. It has good information and lots of wonderful color photos of all the different colors. I still look at it frequently and refer to it for general information.

I've just welcomed a Siamese into my home and ordered this book to help me learn about them. The photos were spectacular and the information just what I needed.
