Found this book incredibly informative and enjoyed it so much I read it cover to cover in two days. I have also kept using it as a reference book. As a complete beginner where pedigree cats are concerned this book was ideal. I am fascinated with the Maine Coon, yet confused by the names of the different colours and markings. At last I understand the difference between a Mackeral Tabby and a Classic Tabby, a Torbie and a Tortie, a Smoke and a Cameo. The list of colours, markings and variations on these are endless, this book has finally made sense of them all!

For people who love the Maine Coon, as well as those who have only just discovered it, this book is 'required reading'. If you are shopping for a gift, "That Yankee Cat" will delight the expert or novice alike. Marilis Hornidge has collected the folk lore and legend of the Maine Coon cat, added the story of the fight to have it reccognised by the international associations. and included plenty of pictures along the way.
The perfact book for anyone who owns or is owned by a Maine Coon, or wants to be.

A well-written book that takes the reader from the origins of the breed and its characteristics. There is an attention to detail and a delightful use of anecdotes that give an idea of living with a maine coon. Sensible and constructive guides to ownership are well presented.
