Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
This is a beautifully illustrated, intelligent, straightforward book that contains just about everything you ever wanted to know about cats. It avoids the cuteness of many cat books, dealing instead with serious issues of conservation of wild cats and expressing the author's special fondness for mixed breed cats (or, as he calls them, "Moggies"), because, he maintains, they are the purest breed of cat and closest in genetics and behavior to wild cats. (Mercifully, Roger Tabor avoids the annoying affectation of using the pronoun "she" in referrence to all cats.) The historical information on how cats become our domestic pets is particularly fascinating, and the health advice and care instructions for cats are right on target and quite useful.

Product Description
One of the world's leading cat authorities presents a full-scale, fascinating portrait of felines, from their origins in the wild to their accommodations to domestic life, and offers invaluable insights into their behavior. Over 150 beautiful, full-color photos capture the alluring mystery and irresistible appeal of all kinds of cats.

By A Customer
Roger Tabor has this unique abillity to help you understand the bahaviour of this wonderful animal. He educates in a very interesting way so as not to bombard you with useless information. Probably the best book I've ever had the opportunity to read about Cats. A worthwhile read,

3.0 out of 5 stars A little light in the behavior area., September 6, 1997
By A Customer
This was a good, brief, general book about cats. I was hoping to find an in-depth treatment about cat behavior
