Excellent, in-depth description of all aspects of the cat
8 July 1998
Format:Hardcover
Dr. Fogle provides detailed information about the cat in many areas: historical, cultural, scientific, social, et cetera. The scientific detail he provides about the cat is amazing: he provides descriptions of the nervous system, digestive system, skeletal system, etc. He also writes about each breed of cat and habits specific to that breed. This is a must read for anyone who loves cats!

I only glanced through this, as it was a gift for someone else, but it is by the same person who wrote the Encyclopedia of the Dog, which I own and love. Even though I am not an animal owner, the pictures and descriptions of the breeds, as well as the historical data, is great fun. This is terrific to have around the house, and a good gift for the animal lover.

for anyone who loves their cat
16 July 2001
Format:Hardcover
All cat lovers will treasure this book. I fell in love with it because of the fantastic pictures and easy to follow prose. The book covers everything about cats - the evolution of cats, the treatment they have received from man throughout the ages, practical cat-care guidelines, and a review (with pictures!) of cat breeds. I never tire of reading this book.
