I bought this book ten years ago when I was quite new to looking after cats. I used the book to learn about the reality of choosing and then looking after my two new cats. This book covers absolutly everything a novice and experenced cat owner would need. Now I used the book to dip into every now and then for information..((Contents --->Cat anatomy, origins of the cat,cat breeds, choosing a cat, kitten care, housing and handling, feeding, grooming, showing, understanding your cat, breeding, health care, first aid))
