1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!, September 21, 1999
By A. Zimmer (Tulsa, OK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I find it completely intolerable when books are produced with inaccurate information. Especially when those books are for children. To start, the very least the author & publishers could have done was to include pictures of quality Russian Blues. One of the cats on the front cover has white hairs on his chest, which is unacceptable in Russian Blues. The only really good picture of a Russian Blue is on page 13, and this shows a cat outside. The author never covers the fact that cats should be kept inside where they will be safe.

The authors description of the breed under "Qualities" is inexcusable and totally misleading. One of his sentences states "They can be moody and may bite if handled roughly." I don't consider Russian Blues to be "Moody" and I've lived with them since 1978. As for "may bite if handled roughly", this is a broad statement that covers just about every domestic animal on earth. As for feeding, does this person have a veterinarian degree? If not, how dare he advocate the feeding of meat and bones. Under his description of kittens he states "Some Russian blues are born with the markings of a Siamese cat. They are called "White Russians."" This is complete misinformation as they are described as "color point" or "pointed" kittens. White Russians or Russian Whites are an actual pure white cat that is bred and shown in Australia and other countries.

Under the section "Buying a Kitten" the author states "When you buy a Russian blue you should get pedigree papers that register the animal with the Cat Fanciers Association." This implies that any cat not registered with CFA is not pedigreed or registered, which is a complete misrepresentation. There are several cat registries throughout the US, the three largest being TICA (The International Cat Association), ACFA (American Cat Fanciers Association), and CFA, plus many more worldwide. CFA is not the only acceptable place for a kitten to be registered.

In closing, I would just like to state that when writing for children information should be accurate at the very least. When children read books about animals they want to learn and they believe what they read even if it is full of fallacies. If you are really interested in Russian Blues please contact a breeder, don't waste your money on this book, it will only confuse your children.
